Firefox does not reopen its session with multiple windows in the same order as how it was closed

Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/118.0
Steps to reproduce:
I have alot of tabs which I prefer to keep open for later use, but I arrange them across multiple FF windows, mostly 3 or 4. But FF never remembers the order of the windows on the taskbar itself after closing the browser and restarting it again at a later time.
Every other browser does it no problem, except for Firefox. The same problem happens on my other computers too, running on Windows 10 and 11.
I've been reporting about this problem for over half a year and its still not fixed, nor does anyone from Mozilla even care. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!? Hellooooo?
Reinstalled the whole browser cleanly on different pc's on Windows 10 AND 11.
Actual results:

Expected results:

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Win32' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Not duplicate. The guy in that thread is talking about how he's using a multi monitor setup. Mine is not as complex as that. For me its all on 1 laptop or 1 computer with 1 monitor. That shit just changes order each time on restart of the browser. So has nothing to do with a OS reboot either, as its been going on for months. (Perhaps even years, but I didn't use FF as my main browser with multiple tabs across different windows since around May this year ... so I can't tell).
Oh btw forgot to mention: Only the 1st window always stays at the same spot, the rest of the windows change order randomly. So like imagine having 5 FF windows open each with an x amount of tabs. And you'd start off with: ABCDE
It will just go like: ADCDE or ABDEC or ACEDB or ABECD ... etc etc.
