lets say I have two tabs one is my gmail account and one is my facebook account, now I decide to minimize FF while my Facebook tab is active then I forget which tab I was viewing when it comes to maximizing FF again and I mistakenly remembered being on my gmail tab so I click that and I get a beep and then nothing, I click again and it opens, but if I had clicked Facebook tab it would have opened right away, why it is so frustrating, some times I have several tabs open and I can't remember which one I was viewing last so I click on a random one and get an annoy beep then nothing.

I can reproduce this, I think it is by default. However it is possible to have a different view of your tabs if you check out some of the customization options for tabs at addons.mozilla.org.

Thanks for trying to help, If it is by default it is not only stupid, it's damned annoying and should be fixed, I don't see how checking out the customizable tabs will help and won't spend much time looking, I already have to many add-ons only problem is I use them all and I feel they slow things down.
