When I use the add&edit a bookmark function from Firefox (via hotkey), the bookmark properties window now pops up wherever the mouse cursor is. Can I get it to show at the same location everytime?

[Outertech Support]

I could be wrong here, but I'm 99% sure this is the standard since at least two years.

edit: you can now configure if the window should pop-up at cursor, or the position it was placed on before.

Ouch! Ok! I just upgraded and the box didn't show up where it normally did. Let me roll back and see if it makes a diff... (to be continued)

You're right. I could have sworn the window opened at the same place everytime. :| Guess I'll AHK my way around the issue.
