Firefox is stuck minimized

Greetings,

I sometimes minimize windows to reduce clutter. However, Firefox sometimes gets stuck minimized. This happens at least once per day. The only thing I can do is right-click it on the taskbar and close it. When I open Firefox again, most of the window appears off-screen (to the left). How can I troubleshoot this? It doesn't happen to any other application.

Thanks, Shane.

This isn't a solution, but it might help someone else figure out what the underlying issue is: if you hold down the Shift key and right-click on the Firefox icon in your taskbar, then click "Restore" or "Maximize", does your Firefox window reappear?

You may have a corrupt xulstore.json file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved

This problem hasn't happened since downloading version 35. I wonder if any corrupted files may have been over-written by the new version.

Sometime during such downloads, corrupt files can be replaced. Let us know if there are any more problem. Good luck.
