When I click the "Email link..." selection under the Firefox logo menu, my Outlook compose page opens up -behind- Firefox instead of on top of it. Just noticed that Windows Explorer opens behind it too, so somehow Firefox is set to "always on top" mode. How can I fix that? Thanks!

Hi rsmilward, This may be because of the order of programs being opened. If Firefox is not open then it will be in front of the compose window.

But you are going from Firefox to Outlook, please check to see if there is a saved setting in the Firefox Options/Preferences menu under the Applications tab.

The setting will be stored there.
