My Firefox will not let other programs that I open show on screen unless I minimize Firefox. How can I make Firefox allow documents to show when I open them?

When I have Firefox open on my screen and I open any other document or file, they appear in the taskbar but will not show up in front of Firefox. Even Firefox-related items, such as the Firefox properties window, will not show in front of an open Firefox browser window. I have Firefox 29.0 on Windows Vista Home Premium.

Do you have the Firefox window set to be always on top?

There are other applications that can set certain windows to be on top. I used to have one when I was using Windows.
