Anyhow, it is this setting "browser.taskbar.previews.enable" which has
changed from False to True in SM 2.21 and causes a horrible mess on
Windows 8 Pro. I toggled it back to False and instantly everything was
fine again. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to see a "preview"
of maybe 20 to 100 tabs on the taskbar. It is absurdities like this
that make me glad that with Fx ESR, I only have to endure changes ONCE a
year.
We don't show tab previews if there are more than 7 tabs, so you will
never see previews of "20 to 100 tabs" regardless.
It was showing about 18-20 vertically. That's how many tabs I had open
in SeaMonkey. They weren't "previews" anyway. It was just a clickable
list of ALL tabs shown vertically.
Ah OK those are different. Sorry for the confusion.

I was just on my older XP Pro machine and I updated SeaMonkey there from
2.20 to 2.21. I was a bit amused (and relieved) that the
"browser.taskbar.previews.enable" setting has no effect on SeaMonkey on
XP. XP is showing its age!
The main problem on Windows 8 Pro with this new setting was not the
vertical clickable list of all tabs open in SeaMonkey when I hovered the
mouse over the taskbar icon. That was something not expected but not bad
except it was hard to read because I use Windows Blinds and have full
transparency of a window like that.
What was awful was the fact that SeaMonkey could not be maximized from
the taskbar without considerable effort. There was no thumbnail of
SeaMonkey on mouse hover on the taskbar icon and clicking on the icon to
maximize gave me two windows with the second one partially on top of the
first and the vertical list of tabs on both windows. I finally learned
that if I clicked on the last tab in the vertical list on the second
(topmost) window that was partially on top of the window underneath it
that would make the top window disappear and the window underneath it
was the maximized SeaMonkey with all my tabs that I should gotten when I
clicked on the SeaMonkey icon on the taskbar. This sounds like a bug to
me.
