Let Bookmarklets do their work

Firefox 2.0 is out, but has a little configuration annoyance: it prevents JavaScript to raise windows. This feature is pretty essential for some Bookmarklets (like Google’s Bookmark Bookmarklet).

Here is how to get Firefox to work like it did before.

The solution is to make sure that the “Raise or lower windows” option is checked:

Go to Preferences…ContentAdvanced… and check Raise or lower windows.

Well, not a very hot topic, but it took quite some time until I found it… . Here is a very helpful page for all the options.

Update: Firefox 2.0 was not released at the time I was writing this, sorry for that (but I didn’t link to FTP either).
