      the acroread window pops up and disappears under the firefox window.

which is inconvenient when the firefox window is large and obscures the 
acrobat window (if part of it will be visible I could move the pointer 
into it to give focus). All this is likely to be even more unconvenient in 
the case I'm thinking of (making a presentation based on firefox and 
acroread).

Well, apparently I've found a very simple solution (without changing any 
of my other autofocus stuff)

Style   "AcroRead"      StartsRaised, FPGrabFocus   

I noticed that the sequence was :

 - firefox has focus
   I click on URL
 - popup "opening xxx.pdf" appears AND GETS FOCUS
   I click OK
 - acroread window appears behind the firefox window (or in front but
   soon moves behind) and HAS NO FOCUS.

The  FPGrabFocus gives focus to it, and this is enough to keep it on top 
of the browser window !

Thanks anyhow to all.
