All of a sudden I have this url address box stuck to the top of my desktop with a Mozilla icon. It sits above any application I open and blocks anything else?

I have this URL bar stuck at the top of my desktop. It overlaps any application I open and blocks the top inch of my screen. I have to minimize all windows so I can see everything. I want it gone! I have tried looking at desktop preferences. Deleting applications but its still there. It originally had the Firefox icon then just recently changed to the IE icon. HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

Please provide a screenshot of that.


See this support article. How do I create a screenshot of my problem? It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

When you are in Full Screen mode, hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. You can use one of these to leave Full Screen mode:

  • press the F11 key
  • click the Maximize button at the right end of the Tab bar
  • click the Full Screen button in the "3-bar" menu button drop-down list
  • right-click empty space on a toolbar and click "Exit Full Screen Mode"
