This is wrong behaviour, as the AppTabs are not standard web pages, but web applications, which cause confusion. Reproducible: Always

I don't understand how this would cause confusion. If anything, it's a loss of functionality for the user.
It is confusing to me, and I'm experienced user. It seems inlogical to me having AppTabs in Aero Peek. We are trying to distinguish AppTabs from normal tabs as possible, yet we keeping them in previews? That is inconsistent.
Severity: normal → enhancement
This would make sense if the AppTabs each appeared as separate icons on the task bar. That would farther distinguish AppTabs from normal tabs and increase the ease of accessing those tabs from outside Firefox.
That's a great idea! Rob, do you think it's possible?
I know we can already give windows their own icon on the taskbar. There might be a trick to let us do it with tabs.
OS: Windows 7 → All
Summary: AppTabs should be excluded from Aero Peek → Give AppTabs their own icons on taskbar
This and Bug 596648 are essentially the same. I'm not sure which should be duped to which.
Dupe this to bug 605222?

May I new why my bug was marked duplicate when I filled it almost two months earlier?
(In reply to comment #9) > May I new why my bug was marked duplicate when I filled it almost two months > earlier? The other bug was setup better on dependencies, and no work was done on either so it doesn't make any difference which we keep.
Oh, OK.
