126906 - Connection Refused Popup Dialogs On Embedded Objects Steals Focus

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 88810

(Core Graveyard :: Tracking, defect)

Description

[Felix Miata]

2002022008, but rather old

Using hosts to redirect adservers to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1, Mozilla insists on
confirming the rejection of each call for an ad image by popping up a dialog
that prevents loading progress until OK'd away. These popups sometimes steal
focus from other apps. No purpose is served by confirming each rejected adserver
request, other than to make one use a smarter browser instead.

Bug 111904 same or related?

This is a dupe, but in my testing, I found 0.0.0.0 worked while 127.0.0.1 did 
not.

"These popups sometimes steal focus from other apps." is what I wrote, but the
reality is that if you switch to another app right after starting a Mozilla page
load, Mozilla will always steal focus from the other app. Accordingly per
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28586#c185 this should not have been
duped to bug 111904. Since that bug did not specify the right bug this should
have been duped to, and six different searches failed to find one, reopening.
