Facebook -> Firefox:

Open Facebook
Open link in Firefox

Firefox -> PDF:

Open Firefox.
Open downloaded file in Adobe Reader.

Aptoid -> any app:

Open Aptoide Store.
Open installed app.

In all above examples only one Window is visible. This is a regression. Previously I was able to go back to the original app with Android multitasking button. Currently this is not possible.

It's even worse - after that when I try to open Firefox from the launcher new window also doesn't open.

And yes - when you open link from Facebook with Firefox and then open PDF you still have a single window. So it's impossible to pick in the PDF and go back to Facebook to comment.

I find this "bug" somewhat useful, as now we are able to have own cover for each android app (starting apps from Launcher screen) or stack them into one cover (starting apps from Android Store or for example from within Go Launcher EX). I wish it's kept this way.

Just as an example, I sometimes keep Go Launcher EX, Skype, Lync and Spotify running in one cover and have three other app covers for Sailfish apps. 4 covers is better for their size in the Home Screen.

Maybe its good in terms of the number of covers, but there is no way to switch between those apps.

In current state I would actually rather have it the old way - one cover and Android switch button. Cover images are now less stable and usually don't show at all anyway.

@Nux Well not quite "no way", as if there is an Android Launcher running under that same cover (being the first app started, and other's started from the Android launcher), you can select between those running apps within that launcher

How can you switch? Only button in Android I have is the back button.
