How to Show Menu Bar and Tool Bars in Shortcuts

If I create a Desktop shortcut to a web site such as

http://wlsam.com/article.asp?id=2227494&SPID=37725

my browser comes up without menu bars and tool bars at top, which I
want and need.

If I double click on the Firefox icon in my desktop, I get the bars
just fine. If I then enter the same above URL the bars remain, which
is fine.

Can I get the bars when I got to a web site from a desktop shortcut?

Thanks

Big Fred

Firefox doesn't do anything different for me at that site no matter how
I start FF.

I don't understand that.

Oh well.

Thanks anyway

May I ask -

Can you do this and tell me what you get?

1) Create a short cut on your desktop pointing to
http://wlsam.com/article.asp?id=2227494&SPID=37725

2) Double click on that shortcut to bring the site up in Firefox.

Do you get the menu bar and tool bars at top of web page?

I don't

Thanks

Sorry, Fred. My shortcut brings up Firefox with everything intact.

Same here. However, Fred, maybe if you wrote how exactly you create the shortcut
and what version of FF you use, we could maybe find out something.

Thanks guys. Unbelievable.

I had FF v6.0, and it said I was uptodate. but I downloaded and
installed v6.0.2 anyway, and guess what? My problem is gone.

Now in case you are wondering why I was on that tangent, I wanted to
execute FreeCorder from its toolbar because that seems to be the only
way I can get it to correctly record streaming from a web broadcast
site. That is, as I have said in earlier posts to this group,
FreeCorder would record, but only video, not audio. It was driving me
crazzzy.

The toolbar has a record button that so far has worked every time I
tried it. Why I can't get FreeCorder to work from its command window
(my term), I have no idea. But as they say - if it works don't fix
it.

BTW as I said earlier, HyperCam would not work for me either. But it
does work from its toolbar which has its record button also. Curious.

Again, thanks

Not a Windows XP issue, the topic of this newsgroup. For question about
Mozilla's product, they have their own NNTP server (news.mozilla.org) to
which you can connect and ask their newsgroups about their web browser.

Sounds like you somehow configured Firefox to open in fullscreen mode,
or maybe you configured the attribute to open the app's window in
fullscreen. A change was made between v2 and v3: the toolbar and menus
in v3 will auto-hide.
