I have to retract my previous statement. Either I wasn't paying enough attention or the behavior changed. When I went changing Preferred Applications setting around, Firefox stopped taking focus unless "Open link in new window" was set. However, I found that Compiz has a setting:
/apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/focus_prevention_level that when set from default of 1 to 0 (off) Firefox now takes focus. Also found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubufox/+bug/272171 where someone mentions the same thing. Even if you're not using Compiz you might want to check the window manager settings to see if there is one that fixes it for you. -- focus does not switch to firefox when a hyperlink is clicked in another application https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
