Hi,

At work, I use a browser for just about everything as I put advertising campaigns on websites. The orders get passed through to me on a system called ProductionTracker (not sure if it's common or a bespoke order system). The list of orders is on the left. When I click on one it should automatically load the information relating to that order so that I can take the information and process it. This works fine in IE, Chrome and Opera. However, in Firefox it won't automatically load the information. I have to click the order in the list, then hit Refresh. Any idea if there's a setting or an add-on which I can use to bypass this? It's a deal-breaker for me. And it's a shame because Firefox is my prefered browser.

I believe that the type of list that I am referring to is just called a Listbox, where you make your selection (or multiple by holding CTRL or Shift) by clicking. However, I can't access the ProductionTracker from home as it's only accessable on the company's network.

Edit: Although this is not the particular page which I use, this is the right software if it helps: http://www.miles33.com/sections/61/production-tracking?refresh_ce
