Where did my minimized pages go? How do I find them and get them back?

I have OS X 10.8.3 (Lion). When I minimize a page by clicking on the yellow button on the upper left, the page disappears and I can't find it. Where is it? (Swiping 3 fingers across my touchpad does not show them or open programs.) In the past, the minimized Firefox pages went to my dock. This was a great and very handy, efficient feature. Now I am going bonkers because all the audio starts up and plays at once and I can't find the pages to turn them off. That is the worst of it! Help! I am sure there is an easy solution. And please, is there a way to get the pages to minimize to the dock again?

Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.
