I don't think the issue is caused by the OS, as I see it on machines 
running Hardy, Karmic and Lucid (and with various versions of Liferea). 
  It has only recently started, and I suspect Firefox Ver 3.6.7.

Now, I know one or two folk here use Firefox.  :-)

Some also use Liferea;  and I guess at least a few must have Liferea set 
to open items in the browser?  So has anyone else noticed that Firefox 
no longer gets focus after you click the space bar, say, to open a 
Liferea item?  (I can't believe that Mark and me are the only people 
plagued by this change.)

And if you've also found a fix to restore the previous behaviour of FF, 
it would be really good to hear it.  :-)
