Seeing this as well (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1).

Sometimes when I have two Firefox windows only one will disappear from the taskbar.

Hasn't happened to me in Thunderbird (0.8 20040913) yet.

I too am seeing this behaviour (Firefox windows just randomly disappear from 
the taskbar).  Sometimes they return and sometimes they don't.

Currently using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) 
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I also see a forum post with a similar (if not the same) problem (although it 
is occuring on Linux).  Perhaps a cross platform problem?

The Firefox window just disappears, but reappears when all other windows are
closed, and randomly. It is really annoying!
