Windows form always stays on top of desktop


I built a windows form c# application.

If I launch another application, such as a Firefox browser, and select
that application, my windows form application stays top most.

I have to minimize it to the task bar to get it out of the way.
How can I make it "play well with others"?

Check the 'TopMost' property of the form and make sure that it is set to False
