Firefox 5 window stays on top of other windows

On an old Windows XP SP3 system, in the last few days, Firefox 5 window always stays on top of other windows that I may have open. In order to see the other windows (applications) that I have open, I must minimize Firefox 5. In the past, clicking on the title bar of any other window/application, would bring it to the front, but that does not happen now; clicking on a title bar other than Firefox 5 does focus the other title bar and Firefox 5 title bar does change to the non-focused color, but the other window/application does not come to the front (over Firefox 5).
This has just occurred in the last few days. I have added no new programs and no new extensions to Firefox, but several Firefox add-ons have been updated.
How can I get Firefox 5 to not dominate my desktop?

Get Flash Player To Play On Top Of Other Windows

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on a Dell XPS 8100 with Intel i7 Processor. I am using Windows Live Mail and a Hotmail Live Account for my email. When I click on a link to a video in an email Adobe Flash Player always plays underneath the open windows necessitating my minimizing the other windows to view the video. Other than that Flash Player works great. I am using Mozilla Firefox as my default browser. IE 9 is my other browser. All browsers, Flash Player, and the ATI Radeon 5700 video card are up to date. Windows Media Player and Quicktime Player play on top of open email. Thanks, Sam

I have now isolated this playing on bottom to swf files. Every time my friends with Macs send email attachments I get this. I don't have a solution yet, but the Jpegs and Videos are playing nicely on the bottom window. I just minimize the windows on top for now. I hope to solve this issue even though no viewers of my post so far have come up with a solution.

How to make Windows stay on top

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a window "Stay on top"
Sometimes when you are copying information from one window to the next you would like one "primary data entry window" stay on top, and a secondary window not overshadow the first when made active. This way you only see the part of the window that you are interested in copying.
Some programs like skype allow you to have the option as "always on top", but I was wondering if Tiger had the same feature for it's windows?
The other way around this problem is to re-size the secondary window, but I was hoping someone could tell me a way to keep a designated window as "always on top"
thanks in advance

I think perhaps, that the closest you'll get to it, is by using the 'New Tab'
feature in File, where you can have several windows with quick access available while browsing.

Why the office windows always on top of others - how to change it back?!!

I'm using mac os x and office 2011.
Since maybe couple weeks ago (maybe after one of the office upgrades?), when I have multiple office windows opened (e.g., multiple word documents, excel, powerpoint), these windows always appear on top of others (e.g., safari, calendar) first!
Here is an example: now i'm using safari, so it's my active window. If I want to go to calendar (which is already opened), when I click the calendar window, all the office windows (which are opened as well) will jump out first!! Then I have to click the calendar again to make it become on top of the office windows. That means, whenever I want to switch to other windows while office windows are opened, I have to click all the other windows twice, because the first time I click on any other type of window, the office windows will jump out no matter what.
This is very annoying after a while. I'm not sure if I explained this clear enough. But how can I change the settings so the office windows can just not always on top of other windows??!!

Yes, I can view/hide the OSK with no problem but the keyboard, itself, changed somehow.

New messages on top of other windows?

Apologies for what may be an obvious answer, but couldn't find it in my searches.
Is there any way to have new iChat messages pop up on top of other windows? I realize you can set iChat to be "always on top", but I'd like like the chat window to recede into the background when I'm done reading or replying to a message so I can focus on whatever application I am using.
I have Chax installed, but don't see any way to do this via that program.
Thanks.

Must 'Help' Windows Stay on Top?

Is there a way to have the 'Help" window act as every other window? When I am reading through a 'Help' topic the window always stays on top of all the other open windows. But when I want to return to my application the "Help" screen never recedes.

That's one of the many items in the Leopard user interface that makes you wonder what in the world they were thinking, and if the project managers ever actually use their computers for anything other than to see if their project crashes something. You can change the behavior using Terminal.
defaults write com.apple.helpviewer NormalWindow -bool true
Just launch Terminal, copy and paste the above line, and press the Return button. I don't remember whether it was necessary to log out and back in for it take effect.

Modal window staying on top

I've got another question concerning JDialog: I use a class extending JDialog for displaying a window in modal state on top of my main window. Normally the modal window remains on top, but if i switch to another application in windows and then come back to my java-app, i only see the main window, which i can't access, since the JDialog-window theoretically sits on top, but i can't see the JDialog-window and can therefor neither close the JDialog window, nor the main window.
I guess I have to set the main Window as the parent of the JDialog, but i couldn't find out how.
I would be thankful if you could help me.

Hi,
this was a known bug - search the bug database - it is stated closed,fixed - but I also found this behavior in JDK 1.4.0 - it is still there - if another application covers the modal JDialog and you switch back to your application, the JDialog is missing and the application seems to be blocked. You can get arround that by iconizing the application and reopen it again - the JDialog will show up again. I cannot see, what was tried to fix this, but it does not work (under Windows 95/98).

"Window" drop-down shows no windows, if it's the 'primary' window; works fine with all other windows.

The first time I opened Firefox after the 'upgrade' to 34.0.5, it restored all of my windows and tabs from the previous session, as it should. But the Window drop-down showed only "Minimize" and "Zoom", and didn't list any windows, not even the one I was in (I'll call it the 'primary', since it's the one that was listed first). If all of the windows were minimized, I would have nothing, but once I made a new window, all of the windows would show up in the Window drop-down. After some trial-and-error, it appears to happen *only* when the active window is the 'primary', it works fine when any other window is active.
How can this be fixed?

As I stated I already did this and it was not helpful. The drive is not near capacity, but I could not give you an exact answer on how full it is. I know my data is still there as I can see items but just cannot access any windows or menu items as no text is displayed.

Forcing Window/View to front of other windows ?

Is there a way to code a webdynpro to force the window and view it is working in to the front of other windows currently running ? The program which is called from an ABAP report program is being brought up in a background window - and I was hoping to force it to the foreground somehow...
This question arises out of an attempt to start a webdynpro within the portal framework from an abap program via a url call from the class cl_gui_frontend_services (this class supported SSO -as opposed to Call_browser - which caused other problems...) I will be posting a question to the abap-general forum as well to question the calls - but I am hoping there is an answer on the webdynpro java side.
Thanks for any suggestions !

One misnomer - the abap class is cl_gui_html_viewer - with the show_url method...

Firefox is not opening with focus (on top of other windows), why not?

when opening FF (5.0) or restarting, it does not open as top window on my (W7HP) desktop. I think it opens under which ever window was last active or pointer is over, but I would have to experiment some to prove that.
EDIT: after some experimenting, I cannot absolutely define when it will or will not open focused. Newsbin Pro might be a factor, when window open, FF tends to open under it.

Is the popup window a separate item on the taskbar? If not does, does selecting Firefox in the taskbar bring the window to the fore or just Firefox?
If Firefox was updated, then it could be that your CMS needs an update also, are there any available? I would definitely advise keeping up to date with any updates to the CMS as they often contain security/vulnerability updates as well as bug fixes.

How to create external window on top of other window?

I create an external window from my web dynpro component. How to make sure the new window is created on top, not in the back? My web dynpro component is accessed via sapgui and browser.
Thank you
Edited by: Vincent Cao on Jun 15, 2010 5:25 AM

Yes, by default it should be on top.But mine is displayed in the background.
Logic is:
1 Window A (or SAPGUI A) has a pop window PA with a button "OK"
2 Press "OK" button, PA window is closed. And fire an event to window A
3 A get the event, refresh itself and create an external window.
Part of codes:
      window = lo_window_manager->create_external_window(
          url            = i_url
          title          = title
          modal          = modal " abap_false
          has_menubar    = has_menubar "abap_true
          is_resizable   = is_resizable "abap_true
          has_scrollbars = has_scrollbars "abap_true
          has_statusbar = has_statusbar "abap_true
          has_toolbar    = has_toolbar "abap_true
          has_location   = has_location ). "abap_true
      IF width IS NOT INITIAL AND height IS NOT INITIAL.
        window->set_window_size( width = width height = height ).
      ENDIF.
      window->open( ).

Firefox seems to open popups and other windows despite block popups being selected.

I have selected "Block Popup Windows" under Tools-Options-Content, but popups still come. In fact, some mouse clicks on websites will open up multiple copies of Firefox instantly, many with advertisements.

Opening pdf as 1.4 and doing a save as saves as 1.6 i want to stay as is, 4 other windows pcs doing the same activity stay as 1.4- the setting dlialogue all pc is grayed out

Acrobat x pro 10.1.1 all have the same versions and we all do the same task and only one of the pcs changes.
As simple as opening a 1.4 pdf and saving as pdf, definitely not using the optimize or reduce file size just as pdf- one of the pcs changes compatibility to 1.6

1) i7-3520m is an i7 dual core CPU, if you choose this option then you would only use 2 of the 4 SODIMM RAM slots, and your max ram capacity is 16 gigs (2 x 8 gigs). If you choose the i7-3740QM, which is a quad core cpu, you would be able to use the 4 SODIMM RAM Slots for a max of 32 gigs of ram (4 x 8 gigs).
Your XPS systems uses a desktop grade quad core CPU, and the laptop uses (if you choose the i7-3740QM) a mobile version, which is slower than the equivalent speed desktop CPU. The short answer is that you won't find a IVY Bridge Mobile CPU in the W530 that will be faster than the i7-3770. The i7-3940XM is the fastest cpu in the W530, and it is still slower than your i7-3770.
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-3940XM+%40+3.00GHz
2) RAM Cost slightly cheaper aftermarket.
3) micro hdd is the mSATA, and in my opinion there is really no point getting 16 gigs version. I would rather pay 100 dollars aftermarket and get 120 gigs mSATA and use it as a SSD.
4) for PS, the K1000m is enough, no point getting the K2000m.
5) i would pay the 20 dollars and get the 6300 wireless card.

Why can't I connect one Windows 8.1 PC to other Windows 8.1 PCs in my workgroup when using a Microsoft Account?

I finally decided to convert some of my local accounts to Microsoft Accounts on my Windows 8.1 PCs. Big mistake to this point.
I have two PC's with the same Microsoft Account set up, neither PC can browse to the other or map a drive through browsing.
I'm not using a homegroup. My daughter has one setup on her laptop and desktop, and I don't want my PC's on her homegroup. Until Microsoft makes it possible to have 2 homegroups on the same subnet, this is not an option.
The local accounts on both PC's have no problem browsing, mapping, etc. I can connect to the other PC's just fine using local accounts, so I know physical connectivity isn't an issue, neither is my anti-virus or really anything else system wide on either
computer.
I just can't attach automatically using a Microsoft Account. I have to manually map a drive every logon/reboot.
I have also found that running a logon script doesn't work. The drives will not map automatically.
The Microsoft Account users can map a drive using "Connect using different credentials." However, the credentials don't hold across reboots.
I can manually (using either a Microsoft Account or a local account) map a drive using "net use" which then opens up all of my mapped drives and allows for browsing to the other PC. However, this doesn't work across reboots/logons either.
Entering credentials in the Credentials Manager (Whether I use the Microsoft Account credentials or one of the local user credentials) doesn't work across reboots either.
Yes, I have the same Microsoft Account setup on both PCs. I have tried giving them both Admin and Standard user rights on both PCs.
I have turned off UAC as recommended in some posts.
Again - This problem is ONLY related to MICROSOFT ACCOUNTS, not local accounts.
I have put a batch file on the desktop with a "net use" statement in it to connect as a work around, but this is very annoying and truly unacceptable. Is there anyway to make this work seamlessly without running a batch file or something else where
the password exists on the PC in clear text?
I can't find other posts asking this question - am I the only one who is trying to do this? What memo did I miss?
Thanks for any help!

Hello Steve Hengen,
I apologize for the delay.
I have test in my own environment and can normally map the network driver when logon as Microsoft account.
Do you check the option Reconnect at logon?
If you use Connect using different credentials, do you check the option Remenber my credentials?
Please take a look at the following article about map a network drive.
