I don't know what this command is called (I don't know Java) but I know it's part of Java. It's the command that moves the browser instance to the "top" of the stack of instances. And by me, that's the single most annoying thing a browser can do. (Hotmail is a good example; it pops its browser to the top *every* time you follow a link.) At present I can turn off Java entirely, but I don't want to do that, just turn off this one command.
Or is this a security issue? (they got the last one, though)

Wow it's been a long time since this bug was reported. Chris if you're still around were you talking about java or javascript? If you were talking about javascript, this is now fixed (tools > options > web features > advanced in firefox, similarly in mozilla). If you're talking about java it's not the right component. Thanks in advance!
Chris, are you still around? If you're referring to javascript (not java), then in Mozilla: Edit/Preferences.../Advanced category/Scripts & Plugins/Allow scripts to:/Raise or lower windows in Firefox: Tools/Options/Web features/Advanced.../Raise or lower windows Can you try these options and see if that works for you? Note that this raising (or lowering) feature is very useful in case of secondary windows. Interactive demo on this feature: What does the "Raise or lower windows" setting do exactly? http://www10.brinkster.com/doctorunclear/Netscape7/Popup/PopupAndNetscape7.html#RaiseLowerSetting FYI, Java is Not JavaScript JavaScript is Not Java http://www.dannyg.com/ref/javavsjavascript.html If I don't hear from you within 2-3 weeks, then I will assume your problem/request/option you wanted has been fixed for you.
