Details

When the browser has a webpage loaded that auto-refreshes that browser instance always takes the window focus even if the user is working in a different window. This applies even if the browser instance is minimised. Some webpages are designed to run as background information pages so you just have a toolbar button that displays the information required. Those should not take the focus. A trivial example is sports scorecards such as on http://www.sportinglife.com/cricket/news/
Worksforme on Win2k/recent trunk. Paul, if this still happens for you using a recent build, please provide more information, such as: are you browsing in tabs, or in multiple windows... also, please provide a detailed listing of steps to reproduce this bug.
