Why can't I open some cascaded windows (on XP)?

When I click on cascaded windows, some cascaded windows don't display/open, and some do...no pattern is evident from memory, and I can't open the problem cascades (which each have multiple tabs) to examine why they might not be opening. First time this has occurred in years of Firefox use--typically cascaded windows have displayed and minimized very reliably. Using Firefox 7, all plug-ins show as up-to-date, fully updated XP. Can you help? Thanks, James

I just discovered that if I Right-Click on a Cascaded Window, and then click Maximize, that window w multiple tabs opens. This performance is different than in past--in past simply Left-Clicking opened each cascaded window.

I have XP sp3. Cascaded windows are obviously less than full screen, else there would not be room to cascade them. When I left click on one it opens, or in fact is already open and it comes to the foreground in its existing position.

If the window happens to be a Firefox Window, then that may contain multiple tabs.

I am not sure I understand what change you have discovered.
