Calling window.blur() in a popup window no longer sends it behind other windows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Include the following script on a page:
function go(){
	var w=window.open('','x','resizable=1,width=400,height=400');
	w.document.write('<body><button onclick=\'self.blur()\'>blur!</button></body>');
	w.document.close();
}
2. Launch it and click blur! on the resulting popup.

Actual Results:  
None.

Expected Results:  
Should place popup behind main/other window(s).

Works properly in v1.5.0.7 and not in 2.0 RC2.
Makes no difference if popup content is an html file rather than dynamically generated.
What is the value of
Tools/Options.../Content tab/Javascript Advanced button/Raise or lower existing windows

Is it checked or unchecked?




I didn't even remember that option because it was 'on' by default in previous versions. If I check the box, behaviour is as usual, thanks. Do you know if version 2.0+ is intended to ship with this setting, or is it an error that needs reporting?

Are you sure it was "on" by default in previous versions? Bug 318535 clearly suggests that users had to turn it "on".

I confirm it is "on" in clean install of Firefox 1.0 and 1.5 on Windows.
I agree with that. I have used Firefox since version 0.x and never before had to tweak preferences to get a script to work.
