I want to open new firefox window, but _with_ focus on this new
window.

I did some tests and:
I closed all firefox windows
opend gnome-terminal and lunched from it mozilla-firefox: i've got focus
on this new firefox window.
But where there is already opened firefox window and i did the same
thing - firefox lunches without focus below gnome-terminal window.
