This and related bugs are the only thing stopping me from launching
Firefox from my Startup Applications.

Title:
  When restoring a previous Firefox session, minimised windows appear
  briefly

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When restoring from many windows and tabs, windows flicker around for
  a while. This includes windows that were minimised when Firefox was
  closed. The window opens then minimises a moment later, unless it is
  the original window which stays unminimised.

  Tested on Natty.

  Steps to reproduce:
  * Start a guest session.
  * Launch Firefox.
  * Edit Preferences to 'Show my windows and tabs from last time'.
  * Hold Ctrl-T for a second.
  * Load a specific page to make a note of the original window. (Ex: ddg.gg)
  * Press Ctrl-N.
  * Hold Ctrl-T for a second.
  * Repeat the previous 2 steps until there are 10 windows in total.
  (See screenshot '10-windows.png')
  * Press Super-D.
  * Press Alt-Tab.
  (See screenshot 'all-but-1-minimised.png')
  Notice that only 1 window is unminimised and it isn't the original.
  * Press Ctrl-Q.
  * Launch Firefox.
  (See screenshot 'bugs-on-restore.png')
  Notice the flickering of windows appearing and minimising.
  Notice that the original window is unminimised, so there are now 2 unminimised windows.

  Minimised windows shouldn't even appear; they should /start/
  minimised. The original window should also stay minimised.

  I expect you will also trigger this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/803831
  Notice also that in half of the windows, globalmenu-extension stops working. (See screenshot 'restored-unminimised.png')
