I'm using the standard gotoNetPage("myURL") to launch a couple of

In IE it works everytime correctly. With FireFox (on a PC), the

launches the browser just fine in foreground. Then if a user clicks
on the
task bar back to my program and clicks another link, the site is
accessed,
but the browser stays behind Director. You have to toggle back to the
browser. The average user thinks that the link didn't work. With
IE, each
click brings the browser to the foreground over Director. How can I
get that
same result with FireFox, so each call puts the browser in
foreground. If
you close the browser is works everytime, but if you toggle over,
it stays
in background.
Have you tried Buddy API's baOpenUrl? Buddy API is free if you use
only one method in a project
Also there is another Xtra that allows you to control external apps
(as opposed to just being able to start them):

The docs state there is no direct method to bring an application to
the front on Windows, but you can work around that by combining
several methods of the same Xtra.
