When I have more than one window open, I cannot move the windows with my mouse to a different position on my desktop. What's the fix?

I need to get to icons on my desktop, so when I try to move a window that is in the way with my mouse nothing happens! the windows stays in a fixed position. Sometimes if I wait a minute or so I might be able to move the window with my mouse.

Have you tried to resize the windows? By clicking on the square next to the "X" (close) and the "-", (minimize). The one between them.

Also try right clicking on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (where the clock is), just right click in a blank spot and see if there is something set wrong in there.

Hope this helps. Rhon

I updated Firefox to version 13.0 and fixed the problem. Thanks for your help
