I guess that the KDE's feature your are talking about is a duplicate feature with a Firefox one. I don't think Firefox has any "focus" setting. Is this just a FF problem or a general one? What happens if you use another browser? If the same happens, I guess the problem is with Metacity or Compiz (whatever you're using.)

Up to some time recently, Firefox only switched VT the first time I did this, now it does it every time, annoyingly. I would like to make FF stick to a specific VT, or just not switch VT when called from another. Possible? It does not happen here. I'm on KDE 3.5.10. I guess you have "Focus Stealing Prevention" disabled. KDE Control Center->Desktop->Window Behavior->Advanced->Focus Stealing Prevention Level->Choose at least "Low" here. If you're on something else than KDE, I don't know :P Look for the equivalent of KDE's focus stealing prevention in your WM/DE (if it has one).
