When maximised, Firefox will not allow other programs/folders/files etc to display ...

When Firefox v7.0.1 is open and maximised; if I then open another program or folder or file etc, it remains hidden/covered by the Firefox window.
I'm not sure if you call this 'focus' or what but it doesn't happen all of the time ... but when it does, it's very annoying and inconvenient ! I'm not sure if this 'issue' is in any way connected with Firefox's blocking of the scroll window capture feature in Techsmith's 'Snagit' ... but either way, it's a real pain !
I'm using the default 'theme' with the semi transparnet header bar ... if that's relevant in any way ???

Thank you ... but yes, I know that already.
THe query really was regarding the bizarre behaviour of the browser and reasons why it was behaving like this ... not on how to work round it.

  • Firefox will not allow me to attach files to Emails in MobileMe

    When I create a new email in MobileMe, I cannot attach a file to the email. I was always able to in previous versions, but since the latest update, nothing happens. I click on the 'attach file' icon, locate the file and click 'open', but nothing happens. It just goes back to the original email screen with nothing attached.

  • When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

    Question
    When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox will not allow me to view my own domains. Other people can see them.How do I get access?

    Every since I got my new computer, running windows 7, firefox will not allow me to see my own domains. If I unplug Netgar and plug directly into the Wild Blue modem, I can see them with IE or Chrome - but still not with Firefox.
    My Old computer, running XP can see my domains via the Netgear router. Computers running Vista cannot

    Hi cor-el,
    Thanks for the reply. I tried those things with no result. Then I followed the link you sent and found something that MIGHT be the answer if I can find someone to show me how to "send a ping" and "define the subnetmask."
    I have no idea what a subnetmask is, let alone how to define it!
    But I do feel that the problem has some connection to the router. My old computer has one IP address, while the 3 that won't work all share a different one.
    It would really help if I spoke "compuetreze," but I don't.
    Thanks again,
    Marte

  • How do i expand a field in a line with 3 other fields when forms design will not allow

    how do i expand a field in a line with 3 other fields when forms design will not allow it? I also want to shrink one of the fields and cannot do so.

    It is possible that all there is not enough room on your line to grow the field. You can try a few things :
    - Make the form width wider by dragging the right edge of the form or via the Form Setup dialog (File > Form Setup... and change the Form Width)
    - You can make other field on the row narrower (if they are not already at their minimum width).
    Each field type has a minimum width. What field type are you trying to make smaller?
    For example : Text and Multiline can go down to a width of 30. Dropdown min width depends on the length of the long item in the dropdown list.
    Hope this helps

  • My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

    my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

    I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
    It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

  • I need assistance. I signed up for The Novel Network and now Firefox will not allow me access. I'm a computer dolt and don't know what to do next

    Firefox will not allow me to access the area of this site to allow me
    to finish the process to download books.

    Thank you!
    Here are my answers, as best I know how to present them:
    1.  I can see a big red "f".  It's not flashing or moving or anything.  Does that count as animation?
         There is also an empty box with an X in the corner, as if a pop-up is blocked, or something.
    2.  I see 2 things under Adobe, called Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper and Adobe PDF Link Helper, both enabled.
    3.  I see Flash10m.ocx; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX; Get Flash; swflash; FlashInstall; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.dll; and install.

  • Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
    Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
    It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
    '''Note:'''
    Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

  • Firefox will not allow use of my Outlook 2003 email even when default it tries to use Windows Live.

    Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Win7, Outlook 2003 email. Firefox will not use my Outlook email even when set as the default, or when "always asked" is used. Always tries to open Windows Live when "sending link", or with website hyperlinks for email.

    This has all been done and the problem persists.
    It tries to open Outlook first, then the message "Navigation to this webpage was cancelled" and it proceeds to open Windows Live mail.

  • Firefox will not allow me access to their help area

    In Firefox 4 it will not allow me to set my home page.
    It just shows former home pages. And yes, I do go to options, general and attempt to change to current page displayed.
    Firefox 4 is not a bad browser but it is irritating that the arrogance of MS is starting to be reflected in their upgrades.
    They have initiated Firefox 4 without any real attempt to help with existing add ons that do not show up.
    They attempt to load more toolbars on us when most of us want less.
    Please, just try to be consumer orientated, as you have been before 4, and stop trying to be MS, with all their arrogance and ignorance.

    I currently do not have any other browser functioning other than Mozilla
