Way to Stack Application Instances in OSX Dock?

0

I run OSX with tons and tons of application instances; so I am looking for a way to tell OSX to stack application instances in the dock the same way Windows 7 does. (blasphemy, I know) Is there a way to do this?

How do you get application instances - the standard Apple way is for one application to deal with many documrnts – user151019 – 2012-06-29T22:57:16.387

Eg. My dock is full of finder and firefox instances. – Toaster – 2012-07-01T21:17:11.357

How do you start them as both those give me only one instance if I start them from dock or finder – user151019 – 2012-07-01T23:45:06.317

LOL, the possibility that the invocation path matters hadn't occurred to me. I see, well if you want the additional windows (at least when using Firefox) you can request a new window via Firefox's file menu. – Toaster – 2012-07-02T20:06:09.500

But a new window does not open another app instance – user151019 – 2012-07-02T21:42:41.583

For some reason it does on my machine. Bug? – Toaster – 2012-07-03T18:44:04.840

Have you tried HyperDock (http://hyperdock.bahoom.com/)? It adds several of Windows 7's task bar features to the OSX Dock, and as a wonderful bonus also enables window snapping (like Aero Snap).
