649411 - Firefox 4 exits completly when minimize button is clicked [caused by Minimize To Tray Revived]

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Jared VanVolkenburg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

When the minimize button is clicked Firefox 4.0 released version, closes completely, regardless of how many windows or tabs are open at the time.  ALT-TAB does not show the firefox window as open, and Firefox must be relaunched.  When firefox opens, it opens as if freshly opened without the prompt to restore previously opened tabs.   This is not the correct or expected behavior. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox 4.0
2. Open as many tabs or new windows as desired.
3. Minimize Firefox 4.0
4. ALT-TAB verify that there is no instance of Firefox windows open.
4. Relaunch Firefox 4.0
Actual Results:  
Firefox exits completely, including all windows.  On relaunch firefox opens as a new session, without launching previous tabs or windows.

Expected Results:  
Individual Firefox window  should have minimized, and be available when ALT-TAB.  Minimized window should be available to maximize.

Does that also happen in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode) or with a fresh profile (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles)?

The minimize behavior functioned correctly in safe mode.  I removed the Minimize To Tray Revived addon ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/minimizetotray-revived/ ) and it seemed to fix the problem.  

I wanted to use that add-on because I often accidentally click the close ( x ) button and close firefox when I would actually like to minimize it.

I reported this bug to the add-on developer.  However; if anyone has any more technical information they could add to it, please do so.

Thanks Jared. Lets hope it can get fixed in the add-on. Given that this is external code the bug is invalid.
