Have 3 or 4 windows open. When working on a window it hangs for a few second, then moves to a different position on the taskbar. Happens on my laptop with Vista and new desktop with Windows 7. The window that hangs will move to the last position after hanging. How do I keep the windows open from moving on the taskbar?

Every time Firefox opened

== I upgraded to version 3.6

Hello Nordhaus.

If you rightclick any task in the taskbar you can select to "pin it to the taskbar". That's handy with Firefox because you'll be able to open it from there, instead of going to the start menu.
