Hi,

"show desktop" (right click taskbar, chose "show desktop") does not work on an external (main) monitor if firefox is the active window. The command works on the laptop if the external monitor is disconnected.

System: windows 10 home Lenovo Yoga 720 Cable Matters USB-C multiport adapter with LAN External monitor attached to HDMI Firefox 58.0.2

What could be the reason and how to fix it? If not fixed, I'll have to use a different browser as a default.

Thanks, Juris

That function is a Windows and GPU function FF can't control that.
