103490 - Open in new Window makes new window active

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 97067

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[haferfrost]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010918
BuildID:    2001091823

When I select "Open in New Window" from the context menu of a link, the browser
loads the new page in the background which is okay but when it has finished
loading the page it makes the new window active and pops it up in the front.
This is extremely annoying and has often caused me to misclick because the time
when the window suddenly pops up is unforeseeable (I have a slow connection). I
think the whole point of the "Open in New Window" function is to use it with
links I *don't* want to follow immediately. This needs to be configurable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.right click on link
2.select "Open in New Window"

Actual Results:  new window becomes active after a delay depending on network speed

Expected Results:  new window does not become active until I select it from the
taskbar
