Solved: Latest Firefox opens new window

Hi All,
Just got an update via the mageia updates that had a new firefox 68.10.0 ESR
Usually when I start firefox via the icon on the task bar panel, it opens a new window, and if minimised will recall the existing instance.
Now when I need to bring the existing instance to the foreground focus, clicking the icon on the task bar will open a new window.
The application tab of the properties has the start command as 'firefox %u'

A new desktop icon 'launch application' with command of just 'firefox' also opens a new window.

How to I restore the preferred behaviour of restoring focus to the existing running firefox, not open a new window/instance ?
Thanks....
KDE plasma5 32bit...

Why don't you simply click on the window list entry of the already running firefox to change focus ?

Thanks, for that hint.
Turns out my Window List and Task Manager widgets somehow got removed off the panel..
I added the Window List widget back to the panel and now can access the existing running instance.
