    There should be a box on the bottom task bar on the l/h side. Left click them and see if firefox is in there. It should be on the bottom taskbar, mine us on l/h side. Yours could be on the bottom r/h side also. It is a litttttttle box. Not like you are used to in Windows.

    I moved my taskbar to the top of the screen, because I find it easier to keep track of everything I'm running at one time. You may find it better there, depending on your preferences.

    What version of Ubuntu are you using? Plain GNOME? Have you configured it at all?

    It is difficult to find a solution/oversight if we don't know how your system works. Also, is it only firefox that does this, or do other applications do that as well?

    You may want to try Alt Tab...
