User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Pin Firefox to the Windows 10 taskbar as the first application
- Open a few other applications
- Open private window in Firefox
Actual results:
Private windows are added to the end of the Windows 10 taskbar.
Expected results:
Private windows should appear next to regular Firefox windows.
Note: Even manually moving them next to the regular Firefox windows (something that can be achieved with tools like 7+ Taskbar Tweaker) only resolves the situation temporarily: Closing all private windows and opening a new private window makes them show up at the end of the taskbar window list again.

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.

This sounds like it's related to the recent changes to Private Browsing shortcuts. Pinging :bhearsum for more info.

Yup, this is an intentional change. At the moment, you can set browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled to disable this. (This pref may be removed at some point in the future - that is still undecided.)
I suspect if you separately pinned the Private Browsing version next to regular Firefox, they would stay in the right place. (I recognize that may not be what you want, though.)
