Reproduced using latest Nightly 34.0a1

STR:
1. Open Firefox
2. Set media.getusermedia.screensharing.enabled to true
3. Open http://queze.net/goinfre/ff_gum_test.html in a new tab
4. Click Audio & Video
5. Click Share Selected Devices
6. Move the taskbar from down to UP

Expected result: The indicator stays above the taskbar and it can be accessed.

Actual result: The indicator stays under the taskbar and it can`t be accessed.

Notes: 
1. This is Windows only, I did not manage to move the 'taskbar' on ubuntu.
2. Screenshot showing the issue: https://db.tt/BNIcJwTa

> 1. This is Windows only, I did not manage to move the 'taskbar' on ubuntu.

bug 1041675 seems the Linux equivalent.

I wonder if the solution here wouldn't be to use screen.availTop instead of 0 when positioning the indicator.

Display the window at y=availTop instead of 0

Seems ok. Is there a reason the popup is locked vertically? You might consider removing all the custom window dragging code and just using WindowDraggingUtils.jsm

Because UX (phlsa) said so.

We (Gijs) actually started from WindowDraggingUtils.jsm and forked it to implement the requested UX.

Verified that if a call is made with taskbar on top it the global indicator will show under the taskbar not behind it. Tested on Windows 7 64bit and Windows 8.1 Microsoft Surface PRO, using latest Nightly 34.0a1.
