Hi,
I opened a Firefox on Desktop, but when I clicked Minimize Window button, the Firefox disappeared and there was no icon on the panel, I simply could not find it any more (it did not close), this was the same for the terminal as well . How can I make the Firefox icon visible on panel (or workplaces) even it was minimized?
Thank you.

I don't have a clue as to your problem or solution. But did you use the the <ALT><TAB> to cycle through the running applications on that workspace? If FF is still running, you should be able to see it there and bring it to the foreground.
I've never experienced the problem you describe.
Have you gone through all your preference settings? Maybe there's some odd thing there that has an effect. I can't see anything though.
Hmmm... This may be a stupid suggestion, but I'll say it anyway. Are your screen resolutions switchable? When running a lower resolution, part of the workspace, and so the panel, is out of the viewport. Moving the mouse to bring the rest of the workspace back into view may show the missing icon on part of the panel that was offscreen.

Yes, I can use the <ALT><TAB> to bring and cycle the applications, but it was annoying everytime I have to cycle the applications. If I could use the mouse to click the application on the panel, it saves me lot of time.

I've never seen that kind of problem either in FC and Debian. I have no clue what kind of the setting can be used to fix it, appreciate anyone advice.

No the resolutions are not switchable.
Thank you.

Have you tried (re)adding the window list to the panel? Perhaps it was deleted (accidentally or through some setting hiccup)?
I've deleted the application window list before and had to re-add it. Simply right click the panel you want the list on and then choose Add to panel. You'll get a list of items to add the one you're looking for is Window List. You can also try Window Selector I think it is. It's slightly different but same principle.
Sincerely,

Thanks Alex, that was the tricky.
