[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 688088, member: 24098"] Cool beans. Agreed. This *is* the Switcher forum after all. I can see how this could be confusing. You are correct, the icon for Firefox in the Dock would be a shortcut to the actually application that resides in your Applications folder. What you see represented on the right side of the dock is the opened and running application in its minimized form. It's a little hard to get used to, but that's the way OS X represents these things. Much like with the Start Menu in windows, you have a 'Quick Links' toolbar with several applications shortcuts, and then just to the right you have your currently running applications represented by boxes on the Start bar. Anything on the right of the divider is going to be folder shortcuts (if you've placed any there) and currently running, but minimized applications. Hope this helps. You can use Command+Tab to cycle through windows, similar to Alt-tabbing. [/QUOTE]
