Bug Description
When firefox is open and unity launcher set to "autohide," firefox prevents launcher from appearing when cursor is moved to the left side of the screen. The launcher also does not appear when the Ubuntu logo in the upper left-hand corner is clicked.
This behavior occurs both with firefox maximized, and when the window is unmaximized and on the left side of the monitor. When an unmaximized firefox window is moved away from the left side of the monitor, the launcher behaves normally.
Firefox must be minimized for

Thanks for reporting this and helping in making Ubuntu better.
I have reassigned the report to Unity, as it seems more a Unity problem than a Firefox problem. When you say "and when the window is unmaximized and on the left side of the monitor." are you keeping the Firefox window large enough to cover all the Unity launcher? I ask this because I had a similar issue and the Unity launcher was actually unhiding but behind the Firefox window and I could not see it.
