I have just upgraded to 10.04 w/Firefox 3.6.3 and first encountered this issue of Firefox "stealing" focus. This is EXACTLY what it was doing in 9.04 and is supposed to be the way anyone would expect it to act: you perform an action (click a link) and expect a result (link is shown). Simple cause and effect. This is now broken in 10.04. I can click a link and then have to manually change to Firefox to follow the link. Above the 'fix' (which is actually not a fix but a breaking) is to edit the 'browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground' entry in about:config but that does nothing for 10.04/3.6.3 as links opened in Firefox stay in the background no matter how that entry is set. Please follow logic and reset links to open new windows and bring them into focus.
