Only the X (close program) shows. Do you know how I can be able to minimize when I want to look at something on my computer, then go back to a tab in Firefox?

Hello TerryLou,

Would you please go to Windows Settings and make sure that you're not in Tablet Mode instead of Desktop Mode ?

(press the Windows key + I to open Settings and enter "tablet mode")

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Thank you for the reply! I had kind of accidentally figured it out. I’m an old Windows 7 user trying to figure my way around 10! Also, I’m ANCIENT!

I'm glad you got things back to normal - well done !

You're "ancient"  ???

To me that means : "you have some experience and wisdom
comes with age"  !

Thank you Fred. I realized I had somehow gotten into tablet mode (I think that was it) Anyway when I put it back in laptop mode everything went back to normal!
