I have noticed that when using tabbed browsing in mozzila 0.9.8 that if a page executes a textbox.focus() javascript function (which is used to autmotically focus the users typing cursor on a text box within a form), then this steals the cursor from other tabbed pages. A simple way to demonstrate this (although doesn't really show how annoying it can be) is by first going to a page with a form, start typing in some text, then open a new tab and type www.google.com in the URL bar, then quickly go back to the first page and continue typing in the form. After a couple of seconds (i.e. when the Google page has loaded so depending on your connection speed), you will find you are suddenly no longer typing in the form on the first page but are now entering stuff into the google search box despite google being in the background.
Upping severity to normal as it can be really annoying if you have slow connection and regularly open more tabs on backgrounds and don't wait for them to load.
