Ah, I've got you. Okay, yes the web page is underneath Evolution.
However, if I have no browsers open, and click on a URL in a message,
then firefox is on top of Evolution. If I click on the URL again, the
second (or more) browsers are underneath Evolution. So the first browser
appears on 'top', but all others are underneath. I'm not sure if it is
possible to tell firefox to always be on top, but even if it is is it
something that would always be wanted? (Probably yes, if you click on a
url then it is no doubt to see the web page?)
