[I've filled in a couple words you may have missed typing.] <sigh> Are you trying to imply that the contents of the first window (let's say showing a youtube video) will remain open, but be replaced by the contents of a second window (say a page at nytimes.com)? So that you have _two_ windows showing nytimes.com? I must say you are seriously confused. To disprove your allegations, I have just opened a video in the browser window. Then I opened a second window, and went to another, different, video. With the two windows positioned side-by-side, the *two* videos continued to play, each in their own window. The sound was from the window with focus. If you are opening windows full-screen instead of smaller and side-by-side, you might not realize this if one completely covers the other. I suggest heartily that you experiment (with smaller windows), so that you see your errors, and don't spread misinformation about window content in the future. Thanks for your cooperation. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
