259415 - Opening links from external programs gives focus to existing window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 255123

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Daniel Sheppard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

When launching a link via an external application (have tried from Outlook,
Sharpreader and Start-->Run) if an existing window is open it is first brought
to the top before the new window is launched and brought to the top.

In 0.9.3 and earlier I never noticed this behaviour.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Create some system load to slow the opening of windows (ie. I let setiathome
eat up the cpu).
3. Launch a link via Start --> Run.

Actual Results:  
Previous window is displayed breifly before the new window appears.

Expected Results:  
No change in focus should occur until the new window has been created.
