    Applications (like Firefox) which are starting in fullscreen mode on my machine will automatically span across multiple tabs and having invisible minimize,maximize and close icon. Found no way to prevent this. :(

    Have to use the window mode and move the window to the top.

    The last driver where fullscreen worked properly was v314.22. :err:

    Is there a way to fix this bug? :confused:

    I'm pretty sure the issue is with the Alienware Theme, have you tried adding Firefox to the theme's exception list?

    Awesome! I'm glad it's working fine, most browsers have issues with that theme.
