I think I clicked something near the bottom of Firefox, and now the task bar at the bottom of the computer screen disappears when I go on Firefox. It goes a bit transparent when I first goon Firefox but then disappears completely when I click anywhere on Firefox. I want to have the task bar back. (By task bar I mean the thing at the bottom with the start menu and things on)

Keazen oplossing

This has happened to me in Chrome, Firefox & IE. (I have Windows 8). So many other people have had this issue over the past couple of years in forums. They have all been "Closed/Solved" but they have NEVER been solved!!

(Hint: It is not solved by toggling task bar properties etc etc etc or dragging anything anywhere or messing with explorer.exe or clicking F11 / F10 or F bloody anything else!! etc etc et bloody cetra! ! So don't talk about that!!! I can go to my 11yo for such mundane, non-thinking wastes of time!!)

Why can't someone do something to fix it?! No wonder Microsoft can only exist through size but not with client service!!

Do you have the Firefox window maximized?

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

This did not work

Can you resize the Firefox window and make it less tall, enough to have the Windows Task bar visible?

I have the opposite problem: My task bar used to be unlocked so it would disappear when not in use. Now it stays visible all the time even tho' I right clicked & clicked Unlock. Why won't it unlock anymore?

I also have same problem. I can temporary get it back by pressing F11 twice, but if I then go somewhere it disappears again

I had this problem myself and a Reset took care of it.
