Firefox taskbar overlap & position issues

For some reason the tab-bar of firefox is partially overlapped by the taskbar in Windows 10

Also, in certain situations I can see the windows 7 UI on Firefox in windowed mode (see images)

I have done a full refresh, full reinstall and it still happens. Only way to fix these issues is to enter and exit fullscreen twice. Even then, firefox sometimes cannot be brought back after being minimised.

Chosen solution

Turns out that FF has issues with coloured taskbar/start menu's. If it is turned off then it is solved

Try reducing the size of the window, or moving it

Unfortunately that leads to the problem of seeing the classic windows UI at the ends of the tab-bar, which then requires me to maximise the window and then toggle fullscreen until it fixes itself (interestingly toggling fullscreen on and off fixes both the UI and taskbar overlap)
