Objectdock and Firefox problem that I can not seem to find an answer for!

Please Help a newbie

I just recently downloaded objectdock (free) and I have my firefox icon on there. Problem is when I click on it it pulls up an entirely new browser. How can I get it to pull up my already opened browser. I have already checked the option to bring the already running application to the foreground but that still doesn't seem to work. I'm hoping since I'm new to this that I'm just missing something. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

2 option

1) objectdock confg > general tab > misc options - - check 'when a shortcut is ran, if the program is already running...'

2) objectdock confg > dock contents tab - - check 'display open windows along with my icon' and click that firefox icon instead

I can do the second option but when I right click on it to change the icon or edit the properties in general it gives me a "objectdock cannot access information about this window, It is likely that is has been ran by administrator while objectdock has not" I have no clue how to fix that. lol

That worked great for me on Win 7!

Could the problem be that I'm running as administrator under user accounts? Otherwise I have no reason why it just won't pull up an already running program.

Edit : I actually found out that if I ran objectdock as administrator as well then it properly pulled up my already existing firefox browser. I sure this all happened because I have been running my computer as administrator which I am sure isnt a good thing.
