[Bug 272171] Re: Firefox should not steal focus when told by another application to open a link

[Jamie Dimmel]

I have just upgraded to 10.04 w/Firefox 3.6.3 and first encountered this
issue of Firefox "stealing" focus. This is EXACTLY what it was doing in
9.04 and is supposed to be the way anyone would expect it to act: you
perform an action (click a link) and expect a result (link is shown).
Simple cause and effect. This is now broken in 10.04. I can click a link
and then have to manually change to Firefox to follow the link. Above
the 'fix' (which is actually not a fix but a breaking) is to edit the
'browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground' entry in about:config but that
does nothing for 10.04/3.6.3 as links opened in Firefox stay in the
background no matter how that entry is set. Please follow logic and
reset links to open new windows and bring them into focus.
