DDE Message

[Jack B. Pollack]

Apparently there is a known problem with FireFox V3 where clicking on a
hyperlink (in an email, desktop shortcut, etc) doesn't bring the new window
to the front if you have FF set to open the new link in a new window (not
new tab).

I was able to (sort of) fix this by playing with the DDE message for the
file type "Firefox URL".

Now what happens is the current FF windows comes to the front and the new
link window opens in front of the old. This is a little bit of a pain as
after I close the current window (the new link) the window behind it is
another FF window, not the email that launched the new link.

The DDEmessage I am using is this:
"%1",,0,0,,,,

I got this to work through trial and error. Is there a reference for the
values I am sending, or is the "message" specific to the application? I have
tried various combinations of 1,0,-1 without success.

Thanks

That is the problem. I know many people have reported it and there is no
real answer.
Just wondering about the DDE message and if it can be modified in an
intelligent way (since "my" fix is a little bit better, but not perfect)
