Try this. Create 3 html pages.

% echo "<html><head><title>01</title></head><body><h1>01</h1></body></html>" > 
01.html
% echo "<html><head><title>02</title></head><body><h1>$1</h1></body></html>" > 
02.html
% echo "<html><head><title>03</title></head><body><h1>03</h1></body></html>" > 
03.html

Open them into separate windows in the order 1, 2, 3.

Go to the Firefox icon in the Launcher and left-click on it, which gives
you the same sort of view of all the windows. Navigate to window 1. Do
this again, navigating to window 2. And again, navigating to window 3.
>From this point on whenever you go to the launcher, the window at the
top left will be the one you accessed longest ago. So, if you hit the
Launcher icon at this point and always click on the first, top window,
you will see:

01, 02, 03, 01, 02, 03, 01, 02, 03, .... etc, forever.

If you are looking at 5 windows, you will get:

01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, ..., forever.

In other words, you will be navigating through all the windows in an
orderly manner.

Then go to window 1. Hit alt-grave and pick the window at the top-left.
It will be either 02 or 03. Say that it is 02. So, now 02 is front-most.
Hit alt-grave again. The left, top window will be 01. So, if you hit
alt-grave and take the top-left window, you will get:

01, 02, 01, 02, 01, 02, ... forever.

Note that if you have 20 windows open and you do this, the windows you
will see by hitting alt-grave and selecting the top-left window are:

01, 02, 01, 02, 01, 02, etc, etc, etc.

You see that there is a difference, yes?

My initial report was a bit more complex than this, but if you want
something that is 100% reproducible and as simple as I can make it, here
it is.

If you fix this, it will be clear how to use alt-grave to navigate
through all the windows. If you do not, then alt-grave gives you a list
and the order of the list is changed every time, so you have to search,
yourself, for one of the pages you have not already navigated through.
And, as I pointed out, rather than make me play whack-a-mole in 20
windows, the windows could be presented in a logical order, as they are
from clicking on the Launcher icon.
