We've had this request before, and we've looked into it, but it seems it 
would be near impossible to have the extension show up in the Alt+Tab 
list.  It appears the Alt+Tab list is made up of windows that exist in 
your taskbar.  If the mozilla app is in the tray and not the taskbar, it 
won't show up in alt+tab.  And there is little we can do to change 
windows to fix that.
