Description

[Stefan Geisseler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 (MOOX M3)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 (MOOX M3)

When you open an external link (e.g. from thunderbird) and you have already an
open firefox window, "Windows XP" and most likely also all other systems switch
to one of the open windows first and after that it opens a new window.
Therefore when you open a link to view a page out of thunderbird or of wherever,
you can't only close the window you opened to switch back to thunderbird (you
have to switch two windows back.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Firefox window (window A)
2. Click a Link somewhere in another application to open a second window B
3. Close window B
Actual Results:  
Window A is the active window now

Expected Results:  
Should turn back to the previous application
