User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:84.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/84.0

Steps to reproduce:

I am running Firefox Developer Edition Version 84.0b2, but the problem is at least one release older. I just didn't immediately realize that the problem was Firefox.

Steps:
In Windows 10 (1909) start multiple applications including Firefox.
Bring Firefox to the front.
Click on other apps on the taskbar or try to switch to them via Alt-Tab.

Actual results:

Firefox stays in the front. I only get to see the other applications if I minimize it.

Expected results:

The other applications should come in the foreground and Firefox move in the background.
