firefox window blocks everything else on computer screen
for some reason, the FF window now blocks EVERYTHING else on my computer screen. for instance, if i open a PDF, it opens BEHIND the FireFox screen. normally the PDF would open up and, as the newest window on my screen, obscure at least part of the FireFox window. not anymore. if the FireFox window is open, it blocks EVERYTHING else on my screen. even when i click on those obscured items, FireFox remains visible and over them. this is a serious problem, because it essentially means that i will have to close my browser when doing anything with other applications on my computer screen. which, of course, is not realistic and which will in fact force me to start using another browser.

reinstall your browser. but still why is it a problem, you can open them from the tool bar at the bottom of the scree with just one click.
no, for a while NOTHING worked. if FF was open, the FF window blocked anything else on the computer screen. you could click on something else and it would remain blocked by the FF window.
but i went to the control panel and re-set the window and folder properties back to "default" and everything's back to normal.
