I need puter help
HP laptop, windows 10 but was upgraded to 11 shortly after it came out. I run FireFox.
My problem is the tool at at the bottom is covering part of whatever site I am in. Mostly not a problem but I have (and had) AOL mail since I first had in email in the 90s. Please, no down dragging AOL as it has worked well and it is what I have always used for contact purposes for personal business.
Back to the problem, suddenly the toolbar covers the bottom of the compose mail where the "send" button is. I can't scroll to get it back or do anything I can think of. I did not do any updates that might have caused the change.
So to use my AOL mail I have use a different device. It is kind of like the web site view is expanded to slip behind the tool bar on the bottom.
Any suggestions?

Right click on the toolbar, select "Taskbar Settings". Scroll down to "taskbar Behaviors" scroll down to the first check box That says "automatically hide the taskbar" and make sure it gets checked, then close the settings menu. It comes unchecked a lot for me, just have to reset it.

1997 I helped my MIL buy and setup her first computer. She immediately setup an AOL account and still uses that email to this day.

Man that takes me back.

I still keep my aol email accounts.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

3 minute response time... par for the course around these parts!

It has been a long time since I used Windows, but in the last version that I used, you could move the task bar to any edge of the screen. I moved it to a vertical position on the right-hand side, where it interfered least with anything else on the screen.
