Hello, I've recently switched to running Git master (@g39aace5) after years of sticking with 3.4.15, as I didn't want to redo most of my config.
The main motivation for the switch was that I was told that the most annoying behaviour of Firefox to steal my focus whenever a URL is loaded was fixed 6 years ago. So now my config is migrated and I feel much better about it, but the Firefox bug persists! :( If I have Firefox (v45) and a terminal on the same tag, and I run "firefox http://debian.org"; in the terminal, Debian's website opens in a new tab in Firefox (good!), *and* focus is shifted to that window (bad!). If Firefox is not visible at the time, it does not get focused, but instead marked urgent (the property::urgent signal fires). HOWEVER, the signal does *NOT* fire when Firefox is on the same tag and already visible. Instead, focus is shifted directly. I can't seem to tell this piece-of-junk Firefox to simply stop pretending to be so important, so now I am wondering whether and how Awesome can help!? How can I find out what causes the focus shift? What can be done to prevent this behaviour? Please do note that I'd like to stay clear of hacks such as https://awesomewm.org/wiki/Workaround_plugins_that_steal_the_keyboard_focus (i.e. restoring the focus), but instead just prevent the wrong behaviour altogether.
