Firefox Problem

Configuration General Questions
1

I simply put:
Style “Gecko” MiniIcon $[MiniIconPath]/firefox.png, Icon $[IconPath]/firefox.png, IconOverride
Style “Gecko” StartsOnDesk 1, Skipmapping

for Firefox, After FVWM initialization, everything looks good, but sometimes Firefox has problems after certain operations such as changing wallpapers.
It suddenly loses its titlebar, and appears in every desk(StartsAnyWhere?) not desk 1 only.

I use Taviso’s decor config, and the Firefox prop looks queer too:
lots of stange simpols,helps!

The problem above happens only when Firefox’s showing pages of our forum: “http://www.fvwmforums.org/phpBB3/”…gosh!!!
I tried some other web pages in different languages while changing wallpapers, no sudden lost of titlebar but ‘http://www.www.fvwmforums.org/phpBB3/phpBB3/’…how come?

You probably have this line in your configuration:

Style Fvwm* Sticky, !Title, ...

When you start firefox, it receives the definitions of “Style Firefox-bin”, as expected, but after you visit this site, then the name of firefox window starts to match the “Style Fvwm*” line, and any Recapture or Restart commands will cause the style change of your firefox window.

The solution is to remove any sloppy lines like “Style Fvwm*”. or place them earlier and override the settings later, like “Style Firefox-bin !Sticky, …”.

Gosh, I got it …they did conflict with each other…

Thanks very much…Adam, migo
