I'm working on a report on Word based on an online source, and I'm online on Firefox. So I'm switching between Firefox and Word as I write, and this used to work just fine. For some reason now when I'm on Word Firefox wont open when I click the icon bottom of the screen to switch to it. It just blinks. So every time I want to switch to Firefox to check something I have to minimize Word to get the Firefox in view.

That sounds like a Windows issue problem or your doing to much and Windows doesn't correctly know the gestures so it minimizes the secondary program to the Task bar. That to me is what it sounds like is happening.
