Chosen solution

Ok.. thank you.. the Window menu does allow you to minimize a window but does not option to restore a minimized window's presence. I found a solution by chance -- before, I was used to finding any window I minimized on the dock, click to open -- I just clicked and held the Firefox icon, instead, on the dock, and chose the option Show All Windows.. which dispersed all active windows to be seen on one window, including the minimized windows.. one click zoom to original size and presence..

thank you all for quick responses. appreciated

I don't know if this will work. On Windows, press <Alt> + <Tab> will change from one window to another.

Can't you find the windows via "Command + Tab" or possibly "Command + ~ (tilde)" to cycle through windows of the currently active application?

doing so only cycles through the windows active which are Not minimized..

I'm not familiar with how the "dock" works on MacOS X but if you click the icon there, do you get a choice of which windows to restore?

If you can get Firefox to come to the front, can you use the Window menu up on the menu bar to access individual windows?
