More often than not, when I open my laptop (Dell Inspiron 17, Windows 10) from sleep mode, Thunderbird is minimized and off screen. I can maximize using the icon in the taskbar. But to resize and relocate to visible and useful settings, I have to right click on the taskbar icon, right click on the menu icon in upper left and click the Move option and move with the arrow keys. Once I see it, it's just a small bar with a few menu bar options showing from which I can then resize (can't resize normal view to that small a size, else would've attached screen shot). How do I stop this behavior? Want it to re-open in the last size and location it was set at before puttng the laptop into sleep mode.

I can't see the title bar, can't see anything of Thunderbird. Darn thing is minimized off the screen. To get to it right now, I have to right click on the task bar icon, the right click on the upper left corner of the mini-image that pops up, the click on Move the use the arrow keys to move it into view. It's tiny at that point, but i can resize it..
