firefox won't minimise when i click on the taskbar icon

The version of firefox being used is 3.6.12 on windows

I can't minimize firefox when I click on the taskbar icon. I can minimize any other programs this way, just Firefox seems to be the only one that doesn't minimize.

If I press the minimize icon ("_") at the top right hand of the screen, Firefox will minimize. If I press Alt+Space+N Firefox will minimize. But If I press The windows button(near ctrl and alt)+M Firefox won't minimize.

See if one of your addons is causing that.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:
