Chossing specific tab from taskbar preview causes window to shrink in size.

I'm using firefox 22.0 on windows 7. Generally there are multiple tabs open in the browser. I always use maximized window of firefox browser. If I choose any specific tab from taskbar aero preview, that tab is shown shrinked in size, something like restored. Actually it should show as maximized, as it was the set size earlier. If I select current active tab from task bar preview, it does not show up this problem. I think there is some bug.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

To Enable SafeMode

  • You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
  • Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
