I bloody hate that - of course the moment I submitted the email I worked out what the problem was. On the KDE taskbar, r.click on Monsieur Fox and select Properties -> Application Tab -> Advanced options button, deselect enable launch feedback. And hey presto, 1 browser window, 1 taskbar instance, and everything seems quicker...... and the world is a more beautiful place. Well perhaps not. Cheers, Jon Jonathan Brooks wrote:
Hi,
I have a weird problem with firefox. Whenever I click on Mr Fox on my taskbar (KDE 3.4.2, SuSE 10 X86_64) I get a browser up on screen, but 2 firefox boxes (what DO you call the instances that appear in the taskbar??) appearing in the taskbar with the egg-timer rolling over on them. Eventually the 2nd one disappears and I'm good to go.
This is with the SuSE compiled version of Firefox (installed via Yast) and I get the same behaviour with both the 32 and 64-bit versions, BUT not if I start firefox from the command line. Then I get 1 browser window, 1 taskbar instance and everything is hunkydory.
So what's up with Mr Fox (on the taskbar)?
Cheers, Jon.
