Public bug reported:

I have found in the last day or so that Firefox windows do not accept
focus when they are clicked upon. The focus (and key and mouse events)
are still sent to a different window even after it has been selected for
the foreground by click or ALT+TAB,ALT+`.

Initially I experienced this on a dual-head display, but even when the
window is moved from the external monitor to the built-in laptop
monitor, events are routed to the wrong firefox window.

This issue has survived an apt-get upgrade and a reboot, and is still
occurring.
