First, double check that you've got the correct style name. If there is any doubt, use FvwmIdent on the Firefox window. If the style seems to be fine, add some odd style to the same line and see it taht works - to make sure the style is actually applied. If it's not a problem with the style name, you can add the line bugopts explainwindowplacement on to the config file. With that, fvwm prints a detailed message explaining where new windows are placed and why. In case you need help reading that output, feel free to post it to the list. If the debug output looks good, Firefox has probably moved its own window to a different page. There is a number of styles to prevent applications moving their own windows. Try Style ... fixedpposition first. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
