Mulongo oyo etiyamaki na archive. Tuna motuna mosusu soki osengeli na lisalisi

Please could you stop Firefox from bringing existing windows over on top of my active Firefox window. It is REALLY annoying.

Ok. I open firefox with an initial window. Then I open another separate Firefox window. Then I navigate to some (any) site in the second window. The first window appears on top of the second window.

I am not the only person to have been annoyed by this "feature".

Solution eye eponami

One possible reason for this is that the latest window used Flash and the earlier ones didn't. The history and workarounds are in this thread: Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash.

Some more recent pages on disabling the protected mode feature:

Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before it will take effect.

Thanks for this. It has been driving me to distraction.

The best solution for me seems to switch the flash addon to "Ask to Activate"
