(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jaedynn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Firefox randomly minimizes and down restores. There seems to be no pattern to this, as it happens sometimes when scrolling, clicking on a tab, or even once when I was clicking the "sign-up" button for bugzilla. I have tried to reproduce it consistently, but it does appear to be random. It occurs even after restarting a new Firefox session.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click randomly inside the active Firefox window
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Window will sometimes minimize or down restore.

Expected Results:  
Um, not that? =D

Current extensions in use: Personas for Firefox, Customize Google, Close Tab By Double-Click, Colorful Tabs, Adblock Plus, and Googlepedia.

This works fine for me. It sounds indeed that this is caused by an extension. 
Please try safe-mode to exclude extension problems:

If the problem persists, try reinstalling Firefox in a different folder.
