I saved google tasks as a bookmark and then dragged them into the bar above my tabs. The Gmail envelope logo and the word Tasks appear nicely. However, when I click on it, I get a blank rectangle on the left side of my screen, with none of my Google tasks listed. It does say "Tasks" at the top - but no list.

I would really like to be able to pop out google tasks and have them show at my option no matter what tab I'm on. (I can view them any time by going to Gmail or GCalendar, but if those tabs are closed, tasks are closed).

Barring this, is there a different task and calendar I could use that is more compatible w/ firefox. I use an awful lot of gmail but don't use the integration features, so might just be able to use a different set of tools that I could keep "popped out" and viewable as I do my other work.

Thanks Jeanne

Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website. You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B). In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.

Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

Ok. I guess when I use the dragging technique, that is creating via a link?

Yes, I can do that, but I have no idea what the significance is of what I am seeing in Properties.

It was not selected.

May I ask this question another way, please. How DO I add the Google task list to Firefox, step-by-step?

Sorry I am just not getting it. I appreciate your help. This one is just not intuitive for me and I can't extrapolate.

Thank you Jeanne
