When open new FF window, existing minimized FF windows open on desktop
This problem started recently, but unsure what has changed in my settings or Windows XP configuration to cause it. Whenever I click a link that opens a popup window or whenever I open a new Firefox window, any existing open Firefox windows that are minimized on the taskbar restore themselves behind the new window (z-order).

Yep - I have the same problem and it is beginning to drive me crazy!
Also using Firefox 3.6.3 on XP. (although same is seen on desktop running vista)
Thanks for any advice. Ham
Hi, I have the same problem - any clues please? Lynne
Hi,
Well I've done more investigation now and have cured the problem. Maybe it will work for you too.
I had the 'Ask & Record' toolbar and program from Applian. Disabling this toolbar in Firefox has stopped the symptoms sp I am happy now!
I started by looking at the possible 'tweaks' that I can use from About:config but when rereading the TweakGuides.com advice to create a new profile I realised that the problem didn't exist in the default settings so it must be one of my add-ons that was causing it.
If I can be bothered I may go back to Applian to see if they have a solution but then I don't use the program often so may just live with it.
Good luck, Ham
P.S. Justto confirm ....I didn't need to delete anything - just disable the add-on so I can enable it again if I need/want to use it again.
Ham, Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't have the 'Ask & Record' toolbar and program from Applian running. But, I started to disable different Add-Ons I had running. Disabling the 'Ask Toolbar' v3.4.4.118 Extension add-on seems to work for me.
thanks again for the pointer to a simple solution, keith
