Steps to reproduce:

  1. Click on the extension's icon to display its popup.
  2. Activate another window.

Actual results:

It causes the add-on popup to close.

This makes it impossible, for example, to select text in another window and copy and paste it into the text input field of the add-on popup.

Expected results:

The add-on popup stays in place even if the focus is moved to another window.

And the focus within the popup is restored when the parent window is reactivated.

I will confirm this report as an enhancement. I do not know if this is viable, but I do not possess the necessary knowledge to assess its validity.
I chose to set the (Core) Dom:UI Events and Focus Handling component because it seems fitting. If incorrect, please set the correct one.

Thank you for your contribution!

IIUC, this is handled by front-end. But not sure which component is the proper one, so move to Firefox: General.
