I am having trouble with Firefox and other programs disappearing when I minimize them. They should be showing on the bottom tool bar, but they vanish instead. They still are up and working, as they would be on a normal minimize, but I have no way of getting to them. I have to open a new browser to go on the web. Pandora plays on in the background, but I can't see where it is.
I tried Alt+Tab, but that just takes whatever window is up and shrinks it. I tried Alt+Tab+Down Arrow as I have Compiz effects on, but it doesn't show that way either.

Right-click the panel on an empty area -> Add to Panel. Add the "Window List" applet.

Thank you proxima,
That works great, but I gotta wonder what is the reason it wasn't there to begin with?

Re: Firefox disappears on minimize
Perhaps you accidentally removed it.
Another possibility is it did not load correctly and you opted to remove it from the panel.
Otherwise it may have been a small bug.
