Since I updated my firefox when ever I try to watch a youtube or other video full screen my start menu stays up at the bottom of the page and gets in the way preventing me from adjusting the volume or finding a specific spot in the video without first downsizing the video using the ESC key. Why is this? It does not happen when I use Internet Explorer.

You can check the settings of the Windows Taskbar via the right-click context menu and make sure that it isn't set to always show on top.
