Description

### Prerequisites

- [x] I am running the latest version of ComfyUI
- [x] I have custom nodes enabled

### What happened?

### Description
When running ComfyUI in Microsoft Edge, the browser window cannot be minimized using the standard minimize button ( `_` ) in the title bar. Clicking the button has no effect, and the window remains in its current state. This issue does not occur when using other browsers such as Chrome or Firefox.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Launch ComfyUI using the `main.py` script or the provided batch file.
2. Open Microsoft Edge and navigate to the ComfyUI interface (usually `http://127.0.0.1:8188`).
3. Once the interface is fully loaded, click the minimize button (`_`) in the top-right corner of the Edge window.
4. Observe that the window does not minimize to the taskbar.

### Expected Behavior
The Edge browser window should minimize to the taskbar when the minimize button is clicked, allowing the user to access other applications.

### Actual Behavior
The minimize button is unresponsive. The window remains open and on top of other applications.

### Additional Context
This issue seems to be specific to Microsoft Edge. The minimize function works correctly in Chrome and Firefox.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch ComfyUI using the `main.py` script or the provided batch file.
2. Open Microsoft Edge and navigate to the ComfyUI interface (usually `http://127.0.0.1:8188`).
3. Once the interface is fully loaded, click the minimize button (`_`) in the top-right corner of the Edge window.
4. Observe that the window does not minimize to the taskbar.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by launching ComfyUI with main.py or the provided batch file, then opening http://127.0.0.1:8188 in Edge and comparing Chrome or Firefox. Inspect the frontend behavior after the interface loads; done means the standard Edge minimize button minimizes the window without regressions in the other browsers.
