I've got Firefox 8.0, and after about a week's usage, it started to have trouble opening at all, then, when it did, it would only open in full screen mode. It wouldn't give me a normal window ... if I tried to reduce the window, it just minimized. So, I either get maximized or minimized and nothing in between.

Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see it.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.
