When I open Firefox it use to put a Icon in the top panel but yesterday it stop doing it. What do I need to do get them back? Did something get turn off or what cause it to happen? Right now I'm running Porteus64 Mate v5.1
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

When you right click on the Firefox icon do you see Add to Panel as an option?

Those icons and everything is there it just when I open something up it don't get added to the panel. There are times I might be running 5 programs then they just stack up then if I need one I have to start closing them tell see the one I want. That a pain that a real pain when I copy from one to another one.

What is your browser configured to do when opening a link: New tab, New Window, New Private Window?

looks like for whatever reason the window list panel plugin has crashed or something.
try: rightclick on the panel in the blank area; choose "add to panel"; scroll down to "window list"; click to highlight it; click the "add" button .
