Well. Could be due to sites stealing focus.

Or Maybe u clicked on the taskbar twice 8)

Expecting ferrarif50 to pop in here anytime. :wink:

I had this trouble of 'restoring' when I open my Gmail account in FF.After clicking some thing,I minimize the window to resume browsing in Opera and FF pops up again!!

Even i suspect the same. A simple script can do that. Just try that site in IE and other browsers.

Goto

Tools ---> Options ---> Web Features ---> Advanced

Then disable the first and second checkbox... Where it mentions move or resize windows... I actually keep only the last one checked and the rest disabled

This should solve the problem...

I Am Facing a Different Kinda Problem.When i open Yahoo Mail in firefox and Go To "Compose Mail",I Don't get the "Effects Format" Toolbar.
See the Screenshot:
*img212.echo.cx/img212/7851/ff9ex.th.jpg

But When i open it in IE,the "Effects Format" Toolbar Does Show Up.
Screenshot:
*img219.echo.cx/img219/2889/ie1zw.th.jpg

WHat Do I have to do to Restore the said Toolbar in Firefox?

I'd probs with FireFox 2 weeks ago and finally I had to just uninstall it and get back to IE6, which works well here.
