If only 1 tab is open, there is no problem.

If 2 or more tabs are opened, the problem arises

p.s. By 'restore' I mean: minimizing FF to the task bar and then clicking on the FF tab to re-open it

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== It seems since installing FF 3.6.8

I'm having the same problem. Everything is fine on 3.6.6, but I upgraded to 3.6.7 and started having this problem. I re-moved 3.6.7 and re-installed 3.6.6 and it went back to the way it was. I just tried 3.6.8 and every time I have FireFox maximized, I go to minimize it, then try to go back into firefox by clicking on any of the windows that pop up for Firefox on the task bar, it goes down to about half the size. It's really annoying and can't believe more proble haven't had this problem.

I'm currently running Windows 7 x64 Pro.

Just to add a note, if I right click on the web site I want in the preview and choose restore or maximize, it goes to full size. It seems that the behavior for left click has changed.
