Details

When I click on a URL in Emacs, an existing Moz window grabs the mouse/kbd focus (becomes the top one) - unless it already was the second on the window stack, then I click on Emacs window, then a new Moz winidow (loading the URL I clicked on) is created - and becomes the top window, I have to click on Emacs yet again, then the new Moz window makes itself current again (before it has finished loading and displaying the page), and I have to click on Emacs again to continue using it while the page is being loaded. Thus, after I click on a URL in Emacs, I have to click on the Emacs window 3 times to keep it current and not being obstructed by Moz. 1. I think Moz should not grab focus more than once, under _any_ circumstances. it is _very_ annoying when the focus is grabbed - MS apps do that all the time and this is disgusting. let't not be like them! 2. _When_ the focus should be grabbed, can be customizable. There are at least two reasonable moments to grab focus: when it receives a signal to open a window and when the page is loaded.

thanks ! Many reporters are using 0.9.3,0.9.4 to report a bug and It's difficult if you must search a already fixed bug. This is a dupe of bug 105225. Please reopen if you disagree ! BTW: It's correct if mozilla grabs the focus if you click a link in Emacs but 1x should be enough.. Please reopen if you disagree ! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105225 ***
