Can you minimize via the system menu (Alt+Space) of the Firefox title bar icon?

Yes I can do that, but it still closes all open tabs.

Normally with the new ubuntu desktop all open windows are represented by little triangles in the launcher. recently that feature keeps disapearing . I restarted my system and open up firefox and then all of the minimized windows all opened up. My system is storing them but I dont know how to reopen them.
