The taskbar is okay on desktop, but when I activate firefox and enter the web-page, the taskbar is gone. Everything on the page is ok except for the missing taskbar which is usually at the bottom of the screen. Can work sites ok, but miss the advantage of being able to switch pages, activate, minimize, etc.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
