I have produced a page in DW3 for an artist where you click on a thumbnail and
it opens a new window with an enlargement of that image. (I use the DW3
javascript behaviour to do this).

When I test it on my browsers the windows open in front of the main browser
window and all is hunky dory.

When my client does the same, she claims that some of the windows open in
front of the main browser window but some open behind the browser window and
are obscured. She says she perceives a "flash" if the new window opens behind
the browser window. She is using Firefox 2.0.9.17

Has anyone experienced this behaviour and figured out a fix?

Usually the user/browser decides where new windows/tabs will be opened.
But why open a new window at all? Why not use something like Litebox?

We'd have to see your page.

Yes, it's annoying that DW don't update the help file about it.
Fix is simple, assuming you've created a link to the html file you
want to open in a new window - change a href="whatever.html" to a
href="javascript:;"
