I have a task bar at the bottom of my screen -- or I used to. Ever since I installed a Norton protection program several says ago, the task bar shows up sometimes and other times, it is gone and I cannot access it. When it's there, it gives me access to the websites I'm using, all my written files and picture, video and other files, volume control and other options. I NEED TO SEE AND USE THIS TASK BAR ALL THE TIME, NOT SOME OF THE TIME WHEN FOR SOME REASON IT'S THERE. AGAIN, I WANT TO ACCESS THIS TASK BAR ALWAYS WHEN I'M ONLINE.

FIX THIS.

Thank you.

Doesn't sound like a browser problem, but can you explain how Firefox is evolved in this issue? Maybe one of these search results can help you.

I have the same problem but the taskbar is missing only in Firefox. It's there in other W10 programs. In Firefox, the F11 key only affects menus etc on the top of the screen. If I hold the F11 key down, the bottom taskbar will appear flashing on and off very quickly but disappears when I release the key, no matter whether it's released in or out of full screen mode.
