I have installed the new beta - the Firefox window focus problem indeed seems to be solved. Thanks :) ]]> RE: Firefox window does not get focus when opened from DF taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-window-does-not-get-focus-when-opened-from-df-taskbar/?ID=019408a1-41a2-7320-8e12-3a7d97d4871e#7 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 18:44:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-window-does-not-get-focus-when-opened-from-df-taskbar/?ID=019408a1-41a2-7320-8e12-3a7d97d4871e#7 DisplayFusion Thanks for the update.

I'll keep an eye on it, seems to work on first attempt, but will monitor to see if some circumstances don't behanve over time. ]]> RE: Firefox window does not get focus when opened from DF taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-window-does-not-get-focus-when-opened-from-df-taskbar/?ID=019408a1-41a2-7320-8e12-3a7d97d4871e#6 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 17:41:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-window-does-not-get-focus-when-opened-from-df-taskbar/?ID=019408a1-41a2-7320-8e12-3a7d97d4871e#6 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta that should fix this up, please let us know if you run into any issues after updating.

This is in Windows10 22h2 and updated DisplayFusion.
I've not checked everything but it is in Firefox, but not with Chrome or Edge (for example). And it is only initiating Firefox from the taskbar - not opening Firefox from the secondary display destop.
I'll be Interested in hearing why this peculiar behavour!

Checking the application directly I see it's 11.0.5 on Windows 11 (24H2)[26100.2605]

Might be relevant, but I'm opening Firefox from my second display.

When opened from my first display that uses windows native taskbar, it does the interaction as expected by focusing Firefox. But when I open it from my second display which has the DF taskbar, it fails to focus Firefox

There are also no additional arguments for launching Firefox ]]> RE: Firefox window does not get focus when opened from DF taskbar https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-window-does-not-get-focus-when-opened-from-df-taskbar/?ID=019408a1-41a2-7320-8e12-3a7d97d4871e#2 Fri, 27 Dec 2024 17:35:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-window-does-not-get-focus-when-opened-from-df-taskbar/?ID=019408a1-41a2-7320-8e12-3a7d97d4871e#2 DisplayFusion I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue. I use Firefox and I haven't run into this issue, in your pinned item on the DisplayFusion taskbar are there any command line arguments specified? Are you using the latest DisplayFusion 11.0.5?

Windows Taskbar Behaviour: Open Firefox, Firefox has the address bar input field selected and has the window in focus. Typing will populate the address bar

DF Taskbar Behaviour: Open Firefox, Firefox has the address bar input field selected but the window does not have focus. Typing will result in no action being performed on Firefox. ]]>
