Matt, is there a specific page that causes you to to be unable to minimize Firefox? What pages are these? If not, please give some steps that cause this to happen.

Additionally, how are you trying to minimize? Are you using the yellow minimize button or using the keyboard shortcut (cmd-M)?

I received this response via private email:

"To answer your question:

It is really quite random, but again the only thing that I can say is that I have many windows open and sometimes for quite some time I will try to pay attention to see if there  are any patterns but as of right now I don't see any.  I am clicking the yellow button."


Matt, I have one more question. Do you browser a lot of sites with Java on them? If so, this is a duplicate of bug 369894. Please respond in the bug instead of by private email per the etiquette guidelines.
