Using Shortcuts
Minimize On Start and Close does just that! When the application is started it instantly gets minimized to the taskbar and when you close it minimizes instead. Minimize On Start and Close is made with Windows 7 in mind, however it should work on any OS. Features: Minimizes on startup. Minimizes on close. Minimizes when pressing the esc key. FireTray 0.6.1 Requires Restart by Foudil, Francesco S., duo. A system tray extension for Linux and Windows, allowing to set up custom icon, hiding to tray instead of closing, display the number of unread messages in mailing applications, and other features.
This document uses the following format for listing shortcuts:
Example:
Command | Windows | Mac | Linux |
---|---|---|---|
Copy | Ctrl+C | Cmd+C | Ctrl+C |
To perform a command, press the buttons listed together at the same time. For example, to copy in Windows, press Ctrl and C at the same time.
Tip: The plus sign (+) means that you must press two keys surrounding the plus sign at the same time. If there is more then one plus sign (such as Ctrl+Shift+C), it means that all three buttons surrounding the plus sign must be pressed at the same time.
Abbreviations:
- Ctrl = Control key
- Cmd = Command key on the Macintosh keyboard
Note: Some keyboard shortcuts perform different functions based on cursor location (focus). For example, if you press Home on Windows while viewing a web page, Mozilla will move to the top of the web page. However, if you press Home on Windows while the cursor is in a text field, the cursor will go to the beginning of the text field.

Yesterday I was able to modify my desktop Firefox shortcut to 'Run>>Minimized.' This worked well; Firefox opened directly minimized to the taskbar. But this morning, after restarting the computer, I found that Firefox opens in a maximized window. I tried changing the settings to 'Run>>Minimized' and even 'Run>>Normal Window' but it won't change--Firefox still opens in a maximized window. Is there any way I can fix this?
