If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested .....

Make sure that you run Firefox in desktop mode and not in tablet mode.

Is this some sort of "random solutions generator" algorithm? How about a solution related to the actual question. If the answer is "you cannot minimize the window because firefox is arrogant" just say so. Or say "I don't know". Thanks

Go to Windows Settings and make sure that you use desktop mode and not tablet mode, like cor-el suggested.
