It seems to happen to people all the time. You have an important web page open. Usually one that requires five pages of checks and buttons to get there. Suddenly you realize you want to open one of your other sites right next to it. You double click an icon on your desktop and bam it loads into the browser you are looking at! Boy that is annoying. People call me all the time with this ‘bug’ and cannot figure out how to fix it. It really is simple to fix
