Windows 10: Need to remove a Firefox... "improvement"

I run FF 86.0.1 (Windows 10), as a windows, rather than full screen.
Occasionally, a link I click on at some site generates a smaller windows saying...

"We're having trouble reaching that site".

This new windows is smaller than the FF windows I run, and seems to be centered behind the larger main FF windows.

Mozilla, in it's infinite wisdom has decided that since I can't SEE this new smaller window, that they would "notify" me of it's existence, down by the system clock.

This aggravates my OCD. This seems to have "started" rather recently. Maybe with version 86.0?

When I would get these "We're having trouble reaching that site", secondary windows, they would be in "front" of the main window I have open... so there was no "notification" down by the windows clock.



Is there a setting in Windows 10 or Firefox, to go back to the sane way.... of showing the smaller window in front of the main FF window, instead of having to open a teeny 3rd notification window down by the system clock?


/edit

I don't use any addons, nor do I want to.









When I move the main FF window, so I can SEE the hidden popup window... the notification window goes away. The hidden popup window used to be "always on top", and didn't NEED a notification window down by the system clock. I would like to get that much more efficient method... back.

I've tried every setting in Options, that I think might be relevant. I also tried every Windows 10 setting in Notifications, and Focus Assist. I've restored from full OS image backups, back two weeks at least, so I don't think it's Windows or any Windows Updates.

I'm guessing, it's gonna be an about:config setting?

FireFox

That's why I suggested this for starters, for the issue you report:

Firefox - Profile in Use

Scroll down on that page to the "Solutions" section.
The easiest way is to open the Windows Task Manager and to kill the Firefox process from there.
If that does not work, then proceed to the next steps in that tutorial: remove the "profile lock" file, etc.

Please let us know how that goes.

Thanks,
