Mozilla Firefox - Plugins and Extensions
Keep Other Windows from Covering Firefox
SUMMARY: Keep a Firefox window on top of other windows with the "Always on Top" extension.
Do you keep a lot of other windows open while browsing the web such as a word processor, spreadsheet, or e-mail client? If so, these might cover up the Mozilla Firefox window, something you do not want if the browser is constantly reloading data such as a Twitter feed.
With the "Always on Top" extension you can force the Firefox window to stay visible above other windows. Plus, the extension is window-sensitive; if you have multiple Firefox windows open you can make one or two of them appear always on top of other windows, even other Firefox windows.
1. Visit the following page from within Firefox:
* "Always on Top" Extension for Firefox
2. Click the "Add to Firefox" button.
3. The "Software Installation" dialog box will eventually appear. Click "Install Now" as soon as the button is enabled.
4. Once the add-on has installed, click the "Restart Firefox" button. Depending on your configuration, Firefox may note that it will try to restart your windows and tabs.
Once Firefox has restarted, click the thumb tack / push pin icon near the top-right of a Firefox window to make it appear on top of other windows. Click the icon again to turn this feature off for the window.
Return to the Mozilla Firefox - Plugins and Extensions page.
