I know, that's why I said: >> I think the impact is a >> lot smaller than these windows moving around like crazy and imepeding >> work. ... although I wasn't clear that I was aware that all tabs would be opened in the background. > Which means instead of getting reports about firefox stealing focus, > we'll then get reports about firefox opening tabs in the background in > some cases. > > I'm not sure which users will be more annoyed (and more annoying ;) ). I think that users in my own category will be more annoyed and annoying since the iceweasel window would move all over the place for this behaviour, while for the other they would need to do and extra click to reach the new tab. Maybe the urgency shouldn't be set if the link is opened from an external link? How hard would it be to disable the urgency stuff for everybody. I know, I know, that's overkill, too, but I really fear the reviews and impressions from people getting annoyed at this bug after the upgrade. Meanwhile I looked at the source and prepared a small NMU and the diff is attached - although probably useless since you're active and I am not a DD. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
