First off, I use an external browser, instead of the internal one, specifically FireFox, with the scrapbook extension, which saves full-webpages for OFFLINE READING.
QUESTION: Every time I click on a link to load the article in the external browser, the browser becomes the active focus, and then I have to click BACK into feedemon to click on the next link of interest, going back and forth over and over. IS THERE A WAY that Feeddemon can be FORCED to remain on top (active focus) while still loading into the external browser in the background?

That's actually a Firefox issue - it forces itself to the front. The only way I've been able to stop it is by installing the Tabbrowser Preferences extension. There's an option there about opening windows diverted into new tabs in the background that resolves the issue (technically the extension only works on FF2, not FF3).

| Thanks for the information, I use "Tab Mix Plus" and I found in the "focus" area there was a checkmark for "diverted windows" I took the checkmark out, and lo and behold, when I click a link in feeddemon, it remains on top. so THANK YOU for the information. (I still need to try out FF3 while I'm thinking about it)

(I still need to try out FF3 while I'm thinking about it) The reason I went back to FF2 from FF3 is that all my extensions would no longer work. Be warned! I suggest waiting until the extension developers have produced compatible versions.

....and apparently an Opera issue. Any suggestions to keep the FeeDmon in focus with Opera? Am having the same issue as imbode, but using Opera. TIA
