Is Taskbar Hide a third-party application?
If yes, did you contact its authors/support service?

Taskbar hide is part of Win7 and many prior versions. Think I have been using it since Win95. Firefox is not the first application that interfered with its action for me. In the past whenever taskbar hide has not worked it eventually started working again. Have not been able to determine if this was due to Win or application upgrades.
