This problem was drawn attention to on AMO

With the extension Autohide it was always possible to access the Windows Task Bar.

It could be deemed inconvenient in FD when this in no longer the case.

Perhaps this could be an option in settings ??

Warning! Fast Dial automatically auto hides the taskbar in Firefox. There is no way of changing the behaviour and no help to explain what is happening or even why the developer decided to impose his whim on all users. Don't waste 30 minutes as I did installing, disabling uninstalling and searching the internet for a cure.

Using Launchy in Firefox lessens the need for the Task Bar

As does the use of Rocketdock
