No, if I launch Firefox again, in WINDOWS TASK MANAGER, I see only ONE Firefox process. Did you not read that in my previous post?

I do see multiple windows, but I see only one task running.

As I pointed out in another post, your test for what constitutes multiple instances may be flawed, in that you're using the buttons in the Taskbar as an indicator of how many instances of the application are running. This is not necessarily correct in any version of Windows.

1. in WinXP, as a workaround for the problem created by switching to the SDI in many Microsoft apps, Microsoft added a feature that groups all document windows that have the same application name in their title bar into a single button with a menu to navigate between the individual windows. However, windows from multiple instances of the same app get grouped in the same Taskbar button because they are instances of the same executable. The only way to tell if there are multiple instances or not is to check the Task Manager. For Firefox, I'm sure you're getting multiple instances. For Word, I'm not certain. For Thunderbird, you're probably not.
