Firefox Maximizes by Itself After Being Minimized, even if I am working on something else, it will maximize and come to the forefront of my screen...can this be stopped?
While I have the FF browser minimized and I am working on another application or in another browser, the FF browser will maximize and jump up on my screen automatically. This happens often while it is minimized. There are no pages that would seem to auto-refresh (don't think that's relevant though). The whole thing will randomly maximize for no reason. Can this be stopped?
It's annoying, especially if I am working and training people and the FF browser jumps up out of nowhere after being dormant. This has been happening for several week, it's now become bothersome.

So...how can this issue be bumped up? Any experts around...?
Troubleshooting extensions and themes
Check and tell if its working.
Yes, finally! Someone else with the same problem. It seems to be specific to OSX. I have the same problem I'm on 10.6.8 and it's been happening since fx4 up to 6.
It just happened now. I had fx minimized and after like 20 minutes or so it maximized for no reason. All I had running was textedit and iTunes. It seems random. About 15 minutes before it happened though there's 2 entries in the console log: [date/time] firefox[233] *** __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x10011ac20 of class NSCFString autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
Did you try the suggestions mentioned in the article provided in my previous reply ???
Hi mha007:
It's sporadic, I can't force it to happen as it happens when it wants to it seems. So after I disable any add-on or plugin I have to wait for quite some time and see if it pops up and it's a bit cumbersome since I actually use FF for work. Thus to keep it in the background is a bit challenging. But for the FF world and peace of mind...I will post my findings.
Ya, it takes forever for it to happen. It seemed to be doing it with almost all of my add-ons... It's probably some combination of add-ons. illumiveri, can you confirm if you have some of the same add-ons as me. I have:
- Adblock plus
- BetterPrivacy
- ChromeEdit Plus
- FindBar Tweak
- NoScript
- Tab Mix Plus
It happened like 3 times within a few hours. It's like someone or something is controlling my mac. It's disconcerting. I disabled remove cookies by timer in betterprivacy. Now let's see. Also, I upgraded to fx 7. so it was happening since 4 and even with 7.

Same issue here. Win7.
Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
-> Basic Troubleshooting - Make a New Profile
IF that New Profile works then you can recover your Bookmarks and Passwords from the Old Profile.
-> Restore bookmarks, passwords and data from an old Firefox profile
Check and tell if its working.
