    Browser (Edge & Firefox) loses focus when opening through taskbar

    Mine works as advertised, FF New Window/incognito opens with focus right to Search. Always has. How do you have this set? This for Fir fox, look at the Chrome equivalent.

    I just checked Chrome, it words as advertised, also. I do not use it much so am not familiar where the setting may be. But it does focus on search with open new window using the taskbar right-click.

    Why Edge doesn´t open any Google www-sites?

    Why Edge doesn´t open any Google www-sites? I am able to open the same Google-sites with any other browsers.

    Opening a browser app on the taskbar through the "task" submenu right click doesn't focus...

    An App's Taskbar icon loses focus after it is right-clicked followed by selecting the app.

    When you right-click on any app's icon on the taskbar and then click on the app's window, the taskbar icon of that app is no longer focused even though the app is already set on focus.

    Steps to reproduce the problem:

    1. Open any application.

    2. Right click on that application's icon on the taskbar.

    3. Click on that application's window.
    4. Observe its taskbar icon. Its icon on the taskbar is no more highlighted even though the app is already set in focus.
