Cannot display Firefox Window from the start bar after minimizing

I had Firefox open with multiple tabs and minimized the screen by clicking on the upper right-hand corner's minimize symbol (looks like a dash).

I am now unsuccessfully trying to redisplay Firefox to continue researching my topic. Alt + Tab selection displays the window but selecting does not display it. I move the mouse to get the Start Bar to show up, then I move the mouse on top of the Firefox icon and a smaller than usual Firefox window displays beside the Start Bar. I tried to click on it to select it and display it as I usually do but, it just does not display in full or small size. I have been able to open another Firefox Window in "regular size" that works (but I need some info on the one that does not maximize) and am sending this question using the recent Firefox Window. I have tried successfully to Show All Bookmarks (only because I was just trying to see if clicking on a bookmark there would make the window display).

This may be a Windows issue. I do not know...  :o( Help?
