Menus in W7.

I'm running W7 Home Premium SP1 (and Firefox 7.0.1).

When I run multiple windows in Firefox, the icons are displayed vertically from the taskbar (at the bottom of the screen) with earliest at the top and latest at the bottom (off the screen), meaning that I have to scroll-down to find the latest windows in order to display them.

Is there a way of reversing this order so that the latest windows appear at the top?

Maybe reverting to a Vista-type display is possible?

Sorry G-CPTN I don't understand what you're getting at, I tend to use tabs rather than new windows but I've just opened half a dozen things in new windows, the task-bar icon becomes tiled and if I hover the mouse over it it displays a thumb nail of all the open windows so I can click on the one I want.

If you increase the number of windows beyond 20 the icons stack vertically - with the newest below the line.

Turn off Grouping

To stop grouping similar taskbar buttons on the taskbar

1.
Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu.

2.
If Group similar taskbar buttons has a check mark next to it, the buttons will automatically stack on top of each other. To turn off grouping, click Group similar taskbar buttons, which clears the check mark.
