User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; MS-RTC LM 8; MS-RTC EA 2; InfoPath.3)
Build Identifier: firefox-4.0b13pre.en-US

After the latest update minefield is mimised at the bottom of the screen and cannot be restored/maximised to normal size. If I move the cursor over the minimised button, the contents of the current tab are seen, but clicking on the minimised button has not effect.

Exiting minefiled and restarting has no effect, minefield restarts minimised.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Exit minefield
2. Restart minefiled
3. Try to click on minmised button - no effect.

uninstalling minefield, including removing all user settings, bookmarks, etc, cure the problem

It's possible either your prefs were corrupt or else one of your addons was not compatible with Firefox 4.

If this occurs again, try safe mode or making a new profile (that doesn't replace the old one) before deleting user settings, since it will help with narrowing the cause down, without risking losing bookmarks etc.

Closing as incomplete for now, since it wasn't clear if this was a Firefox problem or an addon problem.

Please reopen/reply here if it either occurs again, or you still have the old user profile and can narrow down what caused it using the safe mode link above.

Thanks!
