I can't reproduce this on OS X. Is this still reproducable or Windows only?

I can't no longer reproduce this as the fxa accounts are under a waffle flag on dev.

I went looking through the code for something else and found this https://github.com/mozilla/fireplace/blob/master/src/media/js/commonplace/login.js#L144.

It looks like the window is being focused if it is not in focus. Perhaps there are only certain situations in which this focusing can occur.
