When I have multiple Firefox windows open and an Internet Explorer browser window open as well, one of my Firefox browser windows disappears. I can get it back by minimizing each window one by one, and then it shows up hidden underneath them, and the tab on the taskbar shows up again. I'm not sure if it's only when I have IE running as well.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have three Firefox browser windows open.
2. Have an IE browser open.
3. Mind your own business, tab back and forth between each window, doing something on each one, and wait for it to happen.
Actual Results:  
One Firefox browser window gets hidden beneath all other windows, and the tab on the taskbar for that window disappears.

Expected Results:  
Should have worked side-by-side without difficulty.
You can create a new Firefox profile, but this seems like it may not even be a firefox thing, but windows.
Version: unspecified → 3.0 Branch
Do you use for example the IETAB addon ?
I'm not using the IETAB addon. I am using IE 6 because my computer is too slow to run the higher ones.
