After I installed the new update for firefox and i tried out several different themes, I found that when I minimize a window it disappears completely instead of just going down like normal. I wish it didn't do that, I miss the other feature.

This happened

Just once or twice

== This started after I downloaded the update and tried out different themes.

This worked for me. Apparently Firefox sometimes minimizes to a tiny off-screen window. To get it back: 1. In the taskbar, right-click on Firefox, then left-click "restore" 2. In the taskbar, right-click on Firefox, then left-click "move" 3. Use the arrow keys to move the Firefox window until it re-appears. 4. Once it does, click and drag to enlarge it. It should now minimize properly.
