Hello,

after update on the latest Steam version of AMM 8.14.6.1 I have issue with Firefox and taskbar. When I move Firefox to external monitor and switch them to fullscreen (F11) or play any video in fullscreen, Firefox shows on primary taskbar on main monitor. For remove it from primary taskbar I must move Firefox window back to main monitor and then back to external, but when I switch browser or video to fullscreen, Firefox shows on main taskbar again.

Is it a bug in a new version? I don't remember, but I think, that I didn't have thid issue in previous version of AMM (8.14.3) .

Thank you in advance.

I am using the latest Firefox ESR 91.3.0esr (64 bit) on Windows 7 PRO x64bit.

I downgraded to Steam version 8.14.5 now and Firefox or Pale Moon does not have this issue with showing program on primary Windows taskbar after switching browser to fullscreen on external monitor. Well, the problem is in the 8.14.6.1 :-/ .

As workaround you can temporarily replace the system taskbar with Actual Multiple Monitors taskbar (AMM configuration module > Multiple Monitors > Taskbar > Replace the system taskbar). In this case the problem doesn't happen.

Any update on this duplicate taskbar icons on primary monitor?
It is 1.5 year from ackowledging it as an application bug, however I do not see any fix yet.
I need original Window taskbar on primary monitor, so the workaround with AWM one is not possible.
