I have another program, DataCad v15, which uses macros. Alt+[m] is one of those macros and it will call up a new instance of Firefox when using DataCad. In trying to trouble shoot the problem I found that entering the macro when DataCad is NOT running, it will call up a new instance of Firefox. Any explanation for this????

Possibly if the "macro" is intended to open Firefox it may actually be a standalone application that is not getting closed when you exit DataCad

I did find a post that seems to be related

I am not sure this is a Firefox problem, it is probably more likely to be answered on some DataCad site.

More info: I have been using DataCAD and the fore-mentioned macro for years. I have been using FireFox for years although not as long as DataCad. I never had this problem before!

I have solved the problem by changing out the keyboard and (wireless Logitech) mouse. BUT there have not figured out the cause. The keyboard (s. I have 3) is a Gateway Anykey programmable keyboard (with another set of function keys on the left - very useful in DataCad. Keeping the new mouse (wired MS) and switching back to the Gateway keyboard still calls up FireFox despite "de-programming" all programmed macros and re-mapped keys several times.

I can find no documentation about Alt+m, as a macro for calling up FireFox in MS XP or Mozilla, so that mystifies me. This problem exceeds my computer expertise.

Stephen,

Thanks for posting back. if changing the key board fixed the problem it would appear it was a hardware problem or at least a problem relating to the use of that. Maybe you have some software able to assign functions to your keys.
