Firefox tabs stuck minimized

Got upgraded to windows 11. Very frequently when I try and open a tab with Firefox, I can't open it. It's running, but stuck minimized. I can see the little mini version of it when i mouse over the shortcut on my taskbar. I've followed instructions of people who have also had this problem. I've deleted and renamed xulstore. The only thing that ever solves the problem when it comes up (which is often) is trying to uninstall firefox and then refreshing it instead.

This is kind of untenable though because I'd really rather not reinstall my plugins every day and get logged out of everything. What should I do to make this problem go away forever without constantly having to take time and reset firefox

Hello,

Sorry you encountered this bug, it must be really frustrating.

First, could you please give some more details about what happens? When exactly does the problem occur? And how does the actual result of your actions look? I mean, does an already opened window minimize itself when you try opening a new tab? Or does a new window open minimized instead of maximized?

Also, are you able to access a minimized window via Win+Tab?

Helpful?
