I am currently using wine version 0.9.59 and I installed firefox 2.0.14, when I try to minimize the application, it automatically maximizes a second after, does anybody have any suggestions.

Upgrade Wine to latest version.

thanks for the fast reply....I try to do a sudo apt-get update wine and get E: The update command takes no arguments

Is there something else I need to do,

side question: I just dl this the like 3 days ago when I reloaded to 9.04, do the repos have an old installation or something.

Did you start the program from command line? Any ouput there? Using
emulate virtual desktop in winecfg? Might be something in the appdb or
bugzilla on this, but Firefox 2.x is also available for linux so running
it in wine might be a bit pointless I'm not sure.

thanks guys, updating it fixed it i had to remove the old version by doing a sudo apt-get remove wine, and then following the link from the http://winehq.org/site/download-deb website you provided, thanks again guys
