| 1199807 | 2011-05-06 03:56:00 | I have recently upgraded to Firefox version 4. In previous versions, when I had several windows open but minimised to the task bar, I could click on one to maximise it and the others would remain minimised. In version 4, if I seek to maximise one, they all open and I cannot find any way of preventing this. Does anyone have any idea on how I may prevent this? | Guillaume (16361) | ||
| 1199808 | 2011-05-06 09:47:00 | What version of Windows? | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1199809 | 2011-05-06 11:12:00 | Windows 7 Ultimate | Guillaume (16361) | ||
| 1199810 | 2011-05-06 15:36:00 | If you hover the mouse over the FF icon in the task bar it will pop up a selection of which you want to use. You don't actually say if you have just migrated to Win7. I actually don't like the way that works. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1199811 | 2011-05-06 21:43:00 | That is what I do, I click on one selection and all the windows maximise. I would have thought that there is a way to prevent this happening, but so far I have been unable to find it... Windows 7, I have been using since the day it was released and upgraded to 7 Ultimate in February of this year. |

| 1199812 | 2011-05-06 22:14:00 | Use tabbed browsing instead, using multiple Firefox windows is a step backwards, it is a tabbed browser and this is a big improvement over multiple windows which is a hangover from Internet Explorer early versions. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1199813 | 2011-05-06 23:53:00 | Thanks. I'll try using tabs but I would still like to resolve the problem... | Guillaume (16361) | ||

Agree and it will use less memory using tabs instead of multiple instances of FF. |
