Incoming mail opens & interrupts viewing web

    I have XP Pro and Outlook 2003 and use Firefox.

    Very recently, when a new email comes in, Outlook opens up and removes me from the web site I was viewing. I still sea the notification and hear the sound as it comes in, but suddenly Outlook is on my monitor. I usually have several windows open and have to go back and see where I was.

    I'm not sure whether it's Outlook, Firefox or XP. Any help will be appreciated.

    Perhaps a little clarification on your issue would help. Do you normally use Outlook for email? If not, then how do you normally do email?

    Thanks for responding.
    Yes, I always (almost always anyway - I tried Thunderbird once) use Outlook as my email client.
    And, actually, the problem seems to have stopped at the moment. I have NO IDEA what caused the problem.
    Have a great day!
