Hi Community -

When I have a video full screeened on firefox (i.e. youtube) and then open a new firefox window, my Windows taskbar at the bottom of my display does not show. Instead it is showing the video in the background instead of the taskbar. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Are you running 1 or 2 monitors? Is your taskbar set to hide? I have mine set to hide and when I have a video in full screen and open new window, my taskbar comes up when I move my mouse down there.

I am currently running 1 monitor, but I believe this problem started happening when I used a duplicate monitor a few times. I am guessing something was modified when I used a duplicate monitor that is causing this, but not sure exactly what.
