Here is my issue: If I have an instance of FF open and then click a shortcut on my desktop to a web page a second instance of FF opens, which is fine. However, when the second instance opens it goes straight to my homepage, not the page designated in the shortcut. Same thing happens when I try and preview a page in Dreamweaver, instead of opening the page I want to preview, FF goes to my homepage. Any thoughts? _____________________________ Duane Some people are like Slinkies . . . Not really good for anything . . . . .

I just tried some shortcuts and they work fine and hitting Preview in browser in FP loads fine. On your desktop link check out the properties. See what it says in the url. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to BeTheBall)

These are not shortcuts but actual html files saved on my desktop. When I double-click one to open it in FF, FF opens to my default internet homepage instead of to the file I double-clicked unless there are no instances of FF running. _____________________________ Duane Some people are like Slinkies . . .

Try changing the filetype to Opera or IE, check it works in those. Then apply FF as a file type but don't just get it from the list, browse and choose it from the exe. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
