Thanks for mentioning the focus_prevention_level tweak. This has been
driving me mental ever since 12.04. It should really be a more user
friendly/visible option though.

I agree that the old behaviour was more likeable.
Funnily enough if you set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true
the Firefox window doesn't get focused / jump to the foreground anymore
and doing this is therefore brought up as a solution to the problem
everywhere. However this doesn't
Interesting. I could fix this in Ubuntu itself now by using CompizConfig to set
focus_prevention_level from low to high. Maybe some update had actually changed
this setting because now everything behaves as it used to, i.e. the Firefox
window wiggles in the task bar but doesn't go to the
The old behaviour was likable for the same reason that the open links
in new tab in the background option is likable (and is the default
these days): it allows one to open a link without immediately context
switching to it; instead one can continue with the task at hand, and
switch at one's own
Hmm, I was confused - when I said earlier:
A proper event timestamp is passed over the remote protocol, but is thrown
away because we also have a desktop startup ID. The desktop startup ID
is useful when presenting a new window and includes the
timestamp information, but isn't something
That looks like either wontfix or invalid

I'm going to reopen this because there is at least one bug:
The timestamp from the PropertyNotify event is the timestamp when the
server changed the property. This could be somewhat later than the time
the user clicked on the link.
I wonder whether we should only set the timestamp when we have

Public bug reported:
Firefox 13 no longer remains in the background if opening a new tab from
a different window, such as an email.
Prior to the upgrade, the only time Firefox would rise to the foreground
was if it were not already running.

Lnxusr,
Are you saying that,want you want is for, say, if I open up a link from
Thunderbird, I won't see Firefox open, but it will open anyway? Is that

description of what happens now and what you think should happen, this

@Evan,
What I'm saying is I want Firefox to act like it did before the upgrade
in regards to focus policy.
The way it was before is that Firefox would only come to the front if
there were not already and instance running. People often will go
through their emails and/or RSS feeds clicking
Lnxusr,
Ok, now I get it.
I also reported it in Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762374
and linked it upstream.
Muchas Gracias!
