User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

You should be able to minimize Firefox down to the system tray, as you can with
Mozilla. You should also be able to set Firefox to automatically start up when
Windows does, and sit in the system tray until you use it...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox up
2. Minimize it
3. It doesn't minimize to the system tray

Actual Results:  
It didn't minimize to the system tray

Expected Results:  
I would like it to minimize to the system tray

Rather like http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/, but actually integrated with the
products, and installed by default :-P

What are you actually talking about is called Quick Launch. That feature was
intentionally removed from Firefox. See Bug 217026.
