I'm using Gnome. I guess that the KDE's feature your are talking about
is a duplicate feature with a Firefox one.

It's just a Firefox problem. Looking to the web, it doesn't seem to be
WM related as the problem appears on various WM (not only KDE or Gnome).

What happens if you use another browser?  If the same 
 happens, I guess the problem is with Metacity or Compiz (whatever you're 
 using.)

Never had this issue with another browser. I haven't the problem for a
while. I can't say if it comes from the switch to compiz.

 Hello,
 I'm using mutt as MUA in an xterm on VT1 and calling up,
 via urlview, FF on VT2 with a web page from a mail URL.
 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).

If using xfce4:

Settings --- Window Manager Tweaks --- Focus

Leave Activate focus stealing prevention unchecked

In the field When a wondow raises itself choose the second or the
third according to your preferences.
