Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 232605

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Ferenc Kovacs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; hu; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7

Sorry for my english, here is my problem:

If you check the demo URL, you will see a page, where you can click on the "Email to Friend" link, then a popup opens, and stay on focused.
But if you bookmark this url (e.g: wich opens the popup) the popup will lose the focus.
I think the correct behavior should be to handle the bookmark clicks just like the the normal (fired by the user)onclick event, and allow the popup to stay on top.
We are developing a dictionary site, where the users can bookmark a javascript, and if they select a word on any page, and then click on the bookmark, the javascript opens a popup with the translations. But now, the users must click on the popup to see it.

Thank you for your time, and work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit the url
2.Bookmark the "Email to Friend" link
3.click on the link (not on the bookmark)
4.close the popup
5.click on the bookmark
Actual Results:  
in the first case, the popup stay on focus
in the second case, its lost the focus

Expected Results:  
its should stay on top in both case
