Recently installed Window 7 on a new drive. and downloaded Firefox. When I open Firefox I am no longer able to retrieve the auto-hidden taskbar. I am NOT in full screen mode on Firefox. When I move the pointer to the bottom of the screen it does nothing. Firefox is the only program having this issue. I can still run Chrome and IE without this error. Anyone know how to correct so I am able to pull up the auto-hidden taskbar while using Firefox, it is my preferred browser. I did NOT have this problem with the last HDD running the exact same setup and configuration.

Somehow solved.

  • I have this problem sometimes when I use firefox at 2nd monitor and after moving firefox window back in 1st monitor. (in Windows 7)
  • To solve this I have make a little "batch" (code) that restarts windows explorer.
  • You can save below code in a text file (*.txt) and rename file to "Restart Windows Explorer.cmd" and just run it (double click) when you need it. ( "file extensions" must be enabled from Tools>Folder Options>View )
  • Or just open a command prompt, (Windows flag key + R , type in cmd , press Enter) paste only the 3rd line of code, press Enter)
  • Or you can do it thru "Windows Task Manager" (Ctrl+Shift+Esc). Search in browser for "Restart Windows Explorer".

*Warning! When you restart explorer, all opened windows will close.

  • code:

*Don't copy/paste the line numbers!

  1. @ECHO OFF
  2. title "Restart Windows Explorer"
  3. taskkill /f /im "explorer.exe" && start explorer.exe
