Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open firefox with GDK_BACKEND=wayland firefox

Go to a terminal, type in GDK_BACKEND=wayland firefox www.google.com

Notice that google.com opens in firefox but does not grab the focus of the keyboard.

Running firefox without GDK_BACKEND=wayland works as expected

Actual results:

Firefox does not grab focus when external links are opened from other applications.

Expected results:

Firefox should have grabbed the focus of the keyboard / mouse.

Worth noting what I am running firefox in:

Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed
Desktop: Sway (Wayland)

Component: Untriaged → Widget: Gtk
Product: Firefox → Core
Regressed by: wayland

Yes, application can't protote itself on top, that completely depends on your window manager. That's a feature, not a bug :) Anyway, that works in Gnome so I suggest to file it against Sway compositor.
