I doubt this is a problem with the jixedbar.   It uses cookies to "write" the 
minimized state.  
var hideBar = false; // default bar hide/show status

if ($(this).checkCookie("JXID")) { // check if cookie already exists
    if ($(this).readCookie("JXHID") == "true") {
    this.hideBar = true; // hide bar
    }           
} else { // else drop cookie
    $(this).createCookie("JXID", $(this).genRandID()); // set random ID and create cookie
    $(this).createCookie("JXHID", false); // set bar hide to false then create cookie
}

Then it shows it based on the cookie state:
// check if we need to hide the bar (based on cookie)
if (this.hideBar) {
    $(this).css({"display": "none" // do not display the main bar});    
}

This works across page loads just fine.  Although it won't be as compatible 
with older browsers, I personally would prefer the use of http session storage 
over cookies.

Make sure you have cookies enabled in your browser else you can expect to see 
the behavior your seeing.

i have cookies enable, and not work on all browsers.
So i dig a little and found that we need to negate the comparison of cookie_end.

if (cookie_end == -1) its wrong
if (cookie_end != -1) its ok

Full working function bellow.

jQuery.fn.checkCookie = function(cookie_name) {
    if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
        cookie_start = document.cookie.indexOf(cookie_name + "=");
            if (cookie_start != -1) {
                cookie_start = cookie_start + cookie_name.length + 1;
                cookie_end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", cookie_start);
                if (cookie_end != -1) { // bug correction: must be not equal
                    cookie_end = document.cookie.length;
                    return true;
                }
            }
    }
    return false;
};
