Minimize Firefox Closes Open Tabs

[Josh Biggs]

When I minimize Firefox, any open tabs are closed. Unity launcher in Natty Narwhal is not showing the white triangle next to the Firefox logo, so I assume it may be related to a problem with the launcher.

So I need to edit this bug. On further review, it appears that the problem is simply that Unity Launcher ignores how many open windows/instances I have of Firefox. Alt+Tab reveals that all of my Tabs are indeed intact. The problem is that there is no way to reveal them from Unity Launcher.

Hi Josh, we are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

It appears that this was not an issue with Firefox but Unity. If you are still experiencing an issue with this then please open a new report with Unity as the affected application.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
