With the latest Firefox update, the Firefox window stays in front of all other software windows until I directly minimize the Firefox window. Is this a bug?

I can minimize the Firefox window, but *unless* I minimize it, I can't access other programs-- even if I click on a window behind the Firefox window or try clicking on the appropriate icon from the Windows taskbar. The Firefox window stays in front.

I'm using Firefox 18.0; I am on the update release channel. My enabled add-ons are:

Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.5 BetterPrivacy 1.68 Flashblock 1.5.15.1 RAMBack 1.0

and I have no toolbars installed. The only other thing I've recently installed is Amazon Cloud Drive-- but again, this problem is specifically and only with the Firefox window.

Thank you for any help you can give me!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

There is a bug in Adblock. If you disable, thing return to normal. In my experience, this only occurs after an ad is blocked.
