[Andreas Höfler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Until Firefox 3.5.10 it was able to minimize Firefox-windows to the Windows system tray / notification area using DM2 (http://dm2.sourceforge.net/).

Since the upgrade to 3.6.4 the minimized windows pop out of the systray after a second.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a tool to minimize applications to the systray (DM2)
2. Open a Firefox window
3. Minimize it to the systray
Actual Results:  
The open Firefox window disappears and a Firefox-icon appears in the Windows notification area. 
It stays there until being clicked again.

Expected Results:  
The open Firefox windows disappears and the icon appears in the notification area. After about a second the Firefox window reopens again and the icon disappears.

WFM is latest release. I didn't have any trouble minimizing to the tray or to a floating icon. I'm testing with DM2 version 1.23.
