Ubuntu guest fails when firefox is closed

Post by ojvm »

Ok, i have installedvirrtualbox 2.0.4 and ubuntu as the guest os from the following iso ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso, it runs ok, but when i'm using the firefox version installed (3.0.3) if i have more than one tab open and i press close (in the 'x'), the browser ask me, if i want to "close and save the opened tabs" if i press yes the desktop dissapear. (the ubunto thesktop) so even when the xvm is the active application, i'm able to see the windows desktop (my host os) furter more, i'm able to press the icons in the windows desktop thru the xvm. i'd like to add a image to make it clearer, if some body knows how, it will be apreciate it.

the poin of this question, is this a xvm bug? or are there some way to fix it. because it is very bother when it happends, because i have to restart the xvm every time.

Thank you.

It seems that you are running in Seamless mode, which will only show the panels and windows of the Guest.
