Windows 10: Why does Firefox cover the windows taskbar? and no, I don't want to take firefox out of...

I have my taskbar set to autohide, and it works fine with every program except Firefox, so it's definitely not a windows issue. When I move my cursor to the bottom of the screen in any other full screen application, it rises up on top of all open windows and I can see/use it. But if its Firefox that's in full screen mode, moving the cursor to the bottom to get the taskbar to rise yields nothing. I have to press the windows key and bring up the entire start menu or minimize Firefox. All I wanted to do was check the time right quick...lol

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
