Firefox nightly goes windowed after updating

Everytime Firefox Nightly updates, it opens maximised and then minimises itself to the taskbar. When I reopen it, it is windowed. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?

hi, perhaps it's helping when you reset all customizations done to the interface to their default: go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, click on profile folder/show folder and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named xulstore.json - it will be regenerated again the next time you launch the browser.

Why are you even using Nightly, if not to help with the development process and reporting Bugs such as that?
