If you start and open new session windows, the position for each is staggered so they do not completely overlap.  If you minimize a Firefox window, and another Firefox window does not become active, and you then open a new window, the new window will have the same position as the previously active Firefox window (not staggered or offset from it), and raising said previous window will completely obscure the new one.  This only occurs if a new Firefox window is opened after another has been minimized with no other Firefox session becoming active.  If another Firefox session is made active, the new window will be offset from it.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. With no windows open, open a Firefox window.
2. Minimize Firefox.
3. Open a new Firefox window.
Actual Results:  
If you now raise the old window, you should find it completely obscures the new one.

Expected Results:  
The new window should have been positioned staggered (or offset) from the original window position.

I don't know exactly when this started, but I first noticed it after upgrading to Firefox 2.0.0.3 (from 2.0.0.2) and to Thunderbird 2.0 (from 1.5).  Just using the default themes for both.

The system is a well-patched, Windows XP (SP2) box with nothing special configuration-wise (no non-default themes or unusual fonts or anything).
