    Ok, did that on the F-18 box and it turned into a disaster! But I
    found the problem, it was self inflicted. I have poor vision and run
    white text on a black background wherever possible. With that set up
    about:config displayed alternate lines as white on white so I simply
    do not see the line "browser.tabs.onTop" unless I restore the
    defaults. Did that, and could changed the setting to "false." That
    fixes my original problem.

    After that I could not start firefox, I rebooted, then worse yet the
    computer would not mount the nfs server. I yum removed firefox and I
    removed /home/bobg/.mozilla/firefox/* and then re-installed firefox
    via yum.

    Now after a couple of computer reboots the server is mounted but
    firefox takes about 25 seconds to start. I can live with that I
    suppose but there's still something lurking ...

    Tnx,

    Bob
