Firefox Disappear From Taskbar

Post by ShadowKnows »

I'm running Windows XP Pro, SP-2. My Firefox version is 2.0.0.4.

Periodically FF disappears from my Taskbar. I multi-task big-time. I have to minimize whatever task I have visible to see the Firefox window. Sometimes I have to minimize several task windows to display the FF window. This happens whether I've got multiple tabs opened in FF or not.
What's going on with Firefox?

I have never seen that happen with Windows XP, but with TweakUI, I stopped Windows from grouping buttons for the same application into one because it was driving me crazy. I would open windows for applications in a certain order and use the position on the taskbar as a guide to the one I wanted to access, and that positional information kept disappearing. Maybe that is why I have never had a problem with the Firefox button disappearing?

Two years later and it's still happening with 3.5.5 even when FF is the only program running.

It would be best for you to start a new thread, instead of posting to a outdated thread from 2007.

List your operating system, version of Firefox, any extensions you use, if any, etc...
