User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

The active page doesn't get the focus when you alt-tab to another program and
then alt-tab back to firefox.  This is horrible.  People expect to scroll
through a document with pageup/pagedown, alt-tab to another application (e.g.
text editor) and then alt-tab back to firefox and still be able to scroll the
document they were reading (with pageup/pagedown).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open 2 online html pages which are > 1 page long (a vert scrollbar exists)
2. alt-tab to another app
3. alt-tab to firefox and then try pagedown.
   the document does not scroll until you click on it to give it focus!

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
page scrolls down

Looks like not a firefox bug but maybe a bug with the _included_ adobe acrobat 
reader plugin.  It seems to only happen when a pdf is open in one of the 
tabs.  After closing acrobat reader (which gives a warning about pdfs being 
open in a browser), these focus problems disappear.

Adobe Reader 6.0.2
Firefox 1.5b1
