I am trying to minimize the window but it is not working properly. I can't open it back when it is minimized once. I have to close the whole window with all the important data in it.

Please explain; 'I can't open it back when it is minimized once' What happens?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I use windows 10. When the Mozilla window is being minimized, I can see something moved top left corner and gets disappeared. After that I can't open it again.

Did you try Firefox Safe Mode?

Just in case it's a system problem;
