We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all

and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.
Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using
currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know

Title:
Firefox steals keyboard focus for one window
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox. I have a session that is restored on start-up, which
contains multiple windows and tab groups.
2. Use it for a few minutes (the exact amount varies).
3. Switch to another Firefox window that is already open. Don't open a new
window. You can use Alt+` if you want.
4. Start typing - text, keyboard commands, etc.
What I expect to see: My keystrokes should to to the window I just
made active.
What actually happens: My keystrokes go to the window I previously was
in.
If I want the keyboard focus to be on the window I just switched to, I
need to:
1. Open a new window (Ctrl+N).
2. Immediately close that window.
This gives the keyboard focus to the window that is now in front. I
have to repeat these steps every time I want to change to another
window - very annoying!
There is no problem with other apps. This is a Firefox-specific
problem.
I have tried to selectively disable my extensions to see if one of
them is the culprit. I have also turned off focus prevention in
Compiz. No luck.
I have this problem on two computers running Unity on Ubuntu 13.04
amd64. It seems to be a little similar to #589116 and #584513, but I
do not think it is the same.
