I open two tabs with links to email web pages (i.e. hotmail.com and
myrealbox.com). One tab finishes loading and I begin to write my details in the
input box, but when the other tab finishes the keyboard focus switches to the
other tab and I have to manually select this input tag again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open hotmail.com
2. open myrealbox.com (immediately after)
3. start writing stuff in the input box of the first loading page


Actual Results:  when the second pages loads the keyboard focus is switched to
that page

Expected Results:  nothing. it should set the current focus for each page but
set the keyboard focus to the current page

dup of bug 152625?

I think that this is a dupe of bug 152625. Coz the one there had a problem with
tabs and now it is windows. I think there is no major difference as the new tab
in a *way* is a new window. This is my 2 pence. I can be wrong too.

This is not a dup of bug 152625. That bug is about the wrong tab being selected
in the tab bar, this bug is about HTML form controls in other tabs stealing focus.
