I do see this. My guess it that's it something along the lines of focus following mouse, FF creating a new X [sub]window for the search/history/etc results, the focus passing into it, and then FF seeing that its main window has lost focus and interpreting that as "user's elsewhere, pop down the stuff". I haven't tried investigating further though, so that's just a guess. It'd take some tracing to verify just what's happening. I mostly just hack around it by slapping the mouse down toward the bottom of the browser window so it doesn't intersect where the box shows up... > Rather than suggest previous searches that resulted from appending > to the url (usually subpages on the same domain), firefox tends to > suggest wildly different urls now and then -- only sometimes > suggesting urls on the same domain.

IgnoreTransient might have some impact on the focus stuff. I wouldn't expect anything DontSetInactive does to be anywhere neat it though. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fulle...@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
