Hello,

Please see the attached picture. On my laptop screen (but not my second screen monitor) when opening just Firefox, there is a considerable white bar at the bottom of the browser that blocks website content. When I click on it, it brings me to another task I have open, such as Microsoft Word or my desktop.

Chrome and Edge does not have this problem, I checked. It is relegated to Firefox only.

How can I fix this?

If you right-click (or Shift+right-click) that white area, does Firefox display any context menu? Or do you get a Windows context menu that could be linked to the Taskbar or desktop?

Hello,

The problem went away on its own (a few hours later I opened my laptop from sleep mode and it magically disappeared). However if it does it again, I will try what you suggested. Thank you.
