[Desktop-packages] [Bug 272171] Re: Firefox should not steal focus when told by another application to open a link
Fount it. There is a setting browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground in about:config , just set this to true, and firefox won't steal your focus any more when loading links in background. (Thanks to this site http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-stop- firefox-stealing-window-focus.htm for pointing this out) However, it won't highlight the window in the window list either, making it hard to locate the window if you have many desktops. But maybe, this is enough to point some developer into the right direction how to fix it properly (or how to explain to us what is going on behind the scenes, so that it can be fixed properly in the window manager, if it is the window manager who screws this up) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubufox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272171 Title: Firefox should not steal focus when told by another application to open a link Status in “ubufox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 I have Kubuntu 8.04, firefox 3.0.1 and Evolution 2.22.3.1 As very many people, I subscribe to a lot of lists and newssletters.
