focus stealing happens with Beta6 and firefox
Last modified: 2006-03-04 19:09:44 UTC
Until Beta5 AFAIR, whenever I opened a new firefox url from another application, e.g. akregator, the focus stayed in the main window. With Beta6 the focus is on the new firefox tab.
"the focus stayed in the main window" == "focus stayed in akregator" I assume. It's actually intentional bugfix that Firefox receives the focus when you launched it. And Firefox now has focus stealing prevention disabled by default exactly because of the problem you describe, it needs support in Firefox in order to work correctly. Alt+F3/Configure/Window-specific settings allows deleting the default rule that disables it.
