1870095 - Firefox label in Windows 11 not displaying correctly when taskbar set to never group

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1862415

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:120.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/120.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have noticed a bug with how the Firefox icon appears when launched in the Windows 11 taskbar when the never group option is enabled. When Firefox is launched and is the only application open in the taskbar, there is no label present next to the icon like other programs have when launched. There is the little line underneath the icon though indicating it is launched but that is it. As soon as I open another application though, the label will also appear for Firefox. This is only a minor annoyance but is definitely as bug at least for me and should be pretty easy to fix. I will attach screenshots of the behavior. In the first screenshot, you can see that Firefox is open but has no Text label like it is supposed to. The second screenshot is as soon as I open a second application.

Actual results:

Instead of showing a label on the Firefox icon when launched, it still just shows an icon with a line under it unlike any of the other apps when they are launched.

Expected results:

Firefox should launch with an icon and a label when the option to never group is selected in Windows 11.
