How to unhide windows taskbar ?

Hello,

I am on windows 10 pro, using the last Firefox quantum browser. I state already that I am not in fullscreen mode.

I configured Windows to automatically hide the taskbar, and it should show up when my pointer goes to the bottom of the screen.

On every application (Chrome included) it works normally, but when I am using firefox, the taskbar doesn't show up when my pointer is at the bottom of the screen.

It's really inconvenient, is there a way to tweak this ?

Thank you and have a great day.

Hello, right click on your taskbar and select lock taskbar, or to make sure it gets focus, press the windows key when you wish to use it!

Thanks for the answer !

I was able to make it work simply by restarting my computer. Since I installed it yesterday I didn't do it yet and it resolved the issue.

Have a good day.
