When I close and re-open Firefox, the order of the windows changes randomly. By that I mean the windows that appear when I click on the Firefox icon in the Windows taskbar.

I use different windows for different purposes. E. g. one for the bug tracker, one for the Wiki, one for news, and then some for temporary tasks. Currently I have 11 windows open.

It would be quite helpful if Firefox would preserve the order of those windows. From a user perspective I don't see a good reason why it doesn't do that already.

I need this too, as I work with many applications at the same time, many instances of Firefox and I rely on the order of the instances.

Yes, the order of the windows seems to be random after restarting. Perhaps this is interacting with the windows window manager?

I've just switched from chrome and I too would greatly appreciate this feature. Firefox is almost unusable for me without it.
