For others such as gnome-terminal, pidgin, eclipse , it works well.
But for firefox, it cannot steal the appli from taskbar, neither for openoffice.
If I launch firefox(or openoffice), it will produce new icon in taskbar.

I have tried to modify the launcher, by check and uncheck the option "Prevent this launcher from stealing appli from taskbar".
But both configurations for firefox(openoffice) , it cannot steal the appli.

For gnome-terminal,pidgin ... , it works as expected.

Why? Some applications can steal some cannot ?

Which version of Cairo-Dock and Firefox do you have ?
Try to force icon's loading of Firefox with "firefox-3.0.png" (with ".png" !)

* Do you use a theme ? (which one ?)
* Check in "Icons" menu if you use a local theme, etc.
* Or enable/disable "Overwrite X icons with launchers' one ?" in "Taskbar" menu

Theme : default (local)
Tried enable/disable "Overwrite X icons with launchers' on" , it doesn't work.

Do you mean that the problem most probably caused by icons ?

How does it work (steal appli) ?

Normally Icons are associated with window's class
You can check what's the class of your apps with this command in a terminal
xprop | grep CLASS


"Overwrite X icons with launchers' on"
If this option is enabled CD doesn't take the icon proposed by the apps (for example Gimp and Evince give an overview of the file loaded )

The applications launched can be associated together. All the firefox windows are associated within one icon.
But not with the launcher.
There will be two 'firefox', one is launcher, the other is the launched windows.

[wenlong@localhost ~]$ xprop | grep CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Shiretoko"

Messages : 1819 You have install Firefox-3.5 with the version of ubuntu-mozilla-daily ? It takes a wrong class...

Can you edit your launcher and post a screenshot (hosted on http://uppix.net, http://www.minibulle.com or what you want)

After that you can test with this parameters :

* Name = "Shiretoko Web Browser" (or what you want )
* Command = "firefox-3.5"
* Filepath : "firefox-3.5"
* ...
* Class = "Shiretoko"


(if you want the old icon, take "firefox-3.0" instead of 3.5
