No. If I press the firefox or iceweasel icon, I prefer to have my already
firefox running appearing than an another one.
Perhaps, a new optionnal item in .desktop files could be created for this.
If not specified a click on an icon will pop up the already open windows.
If specified a click on an icon will pop up a new windows.
But in this case, an application to create .desktop should exist.
