Getting a thumbnail to show up when minimizing Firefox

Friday, April 15, 2005 by beefqube | Discussion: ObjectDock

I love the feature in ObjectDock which allows a small thumbnail to be shown when the window is minimized. The only problem is that this feature seems to work for all of my programs EXCEPT for Mozilla Firefox. Link

I'd be so grateful if someone could give me knowledge on how to approach this problem! It's the only thing that annoys me in an otherwise sweet program. Thanks so much!

You're lucky that this is the only this that bothers you.
It's a common bug and we've been waiting for the programmers response in this forum forever. Hopefully this feature will be fixed by the next version of ObjectDock.

Oh, thanks! But as for it being the only thing ever bothering me- I've only used this program for a week, so who knows? Heh. Thanks again.

For me it seems to be related to how you minimise it.

I have a 'running tasks' dock bottom-centre and if I click the icon there to minimise the app it makes a nice 'mini-screenshot'. Once I've done this it seems to be (more-or-less) consistent whether I use the dock or the minimise button on the window.

If I use the minimise button on the window from the start, that's when it seems to fail.

FWIW
