So I like browsing in full window mode (F11) yet I have to keep hitting the windows key on my keyboard to pull up the windows task bar (I like it on auto hide)

This is getting rather annoying. I should be able to hover the mouse on the bottom of the screen and the windows task bar come up over any programs I have open like it does with everything else except firefox.

I understand it might be frustrating for you, but generally this is expected behavior when you put an app into full screen mode. Imagine playing a game in full screen mode and the Windows taskbar comes up when your cursor is close to the bottom of the screen. That would make many applications unusable. If you need more space on screen, but don't want to use the full screen mode, you can also hide toolbars you are not using, like the bookmarks bar.
