Title:
focus does not switch to firefox when a hyperlink is clicked in
another application
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
In Lucid Beta 1, Firefox 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu6:
When I click a hyperlink in Evolution or Ctrl+click a hyperlink in an
Open Office document, I expect Firefox to open the link in a new tab
and switch the focus to Firefox. This is what happens if Firefox is
not already running; however, if Firefox is already running, the link
is opened in a new tab but focus is not switched to Firefox.
Firefox is selected as the web browser in Preferred Applications where
"Open link with web browser default" is selected. In Firefox -> Edit
-> Preferences, "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it
immediately" is selected.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or simply new default behavior. Judging
by bug #481541, it may be the behavior preferred by some users.
Perhaps the best solution would be to offer a configuration option so
end users could select the default behavior?
