Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas Weybrew]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I previously opened Firefox v 1.0PR (also Thunderbird 0.9), I got a
full-size dial-up connection window (WIN XP, SP1). With v1.0, I get a minimized
window that I have to expand to OK connect.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox v1.0
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox opens with a minimized connection bar on the task bar - not a fully
opened connection window.

Expected Results:  
Open the full size connection window as v1.0PR did (and Thunderbird v0.9 does).

Do you mean the dial-up window appears behind the browser window?

I didn't realize that that's what was happening, but yes.

More info:

Each time I have installed a new version of FF, the FIRST time I open the
program the dial-up window is on top of the FF window as it should. Every time
after that the dial-up window opens under the FF screen. The has happened each
time I updated since v1.0PR. Prior to v1.0 the dial-up window opened on top each
time.

Thunderbird: dial-up window opens on top
Internet Explorer: dial-up window opens on top
Outlook Express: dial-up window opens on top

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

I am now using v1.0.6 and the problem still presists, but now it is only part of
the time. About half of the time the dial-up window is on top as it should be.

And in Firefox 1.5 beta 1 (as aksed by the auto-resolve mail) ? That version is
about 1.5 years newer than the 1.0. series.

I am now using v1.0.7 and the problem still persists. I also have RoboForm
installed. Could this be a factor?

Comment 8

[Thomas Weybrew]

This situation in resolved. It seems that RoboForm was opening before the dial-up screen and thus this screen was sent behind the browser window. Newer versions of RoboForm don't open as quickly and so the dial-up window shows up on top, first.
