(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Chris Messina]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

When you access a page with a java applet with a text input field, and then
create a new tab and try to type into the URL field of the browser, the java
input field reveals it from the other tab and keeps focus--thus you can only
type into the java input field until you close the tab with applet in it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://phorum.org/chat/index.php?nick=donnie_darko in a tab
2. type into the field
3. Hit cmd-t to load another tab
4. Try to type into URL field

Actual Results:  
You will likely be typing into the Java input field.

Expected Results:  
It should have kept the java applet in a separate tab object.
