Well, I'm reopening bug 478981 because I think it has been closed for a wrong reason. Indeed, there is no longer an upstream bug yet. What happens is that in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263553 someone (who was not the bug reporter) decided that changing some about:config pref (browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground) was OK for him and that all that was missing was an UI pref: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263553#c22 │Changing that setting in about:config worked for me. Now, the thing │is to get it into a preference so it is easy to turn on and off as │necessary. This should go under Tools:Options:Tabs. Thanks. Then some developer replied, saying that a UI pref wasn't needed and suggested WONTFIX: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263553#c30 │This will not block Firefox 3.6.

Then the bug was closed as WONTFIX in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263553#c32 with the comment: │This is not a suitable default behavior, and I don't think it's │commonly desired enough to add as an option (on some platforms │it may not even be doable). I'm not sure what the developer meant here, but 1. We are not asking this to be the default behavior, just for an option. 2. About "on some platforms it may not even be doable", it's doable with Linux / Xorg, and inferior platforms shouldn't dictate how Firefox/Iceweasel should work here. Perhaps a new upstream bug should be open, with a unambiguous description and restricted to the Linux platform (in upstream bug 263553, it is set to "All"). Now, there may be workarounds to this problem, such as configuring the window manager to discard the EWMH hint (when possible). With fvwm, one can modify the EWMHActivateWindowFunc function, but one can just avoid the "Focus". I suspect that Firefox does more than activating the window, but also raises the window explicitly. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
