Build Identifier: 

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0~b5-3
Severity: normal

When I'm opening a page from an extenal application (Xchat here), the
main iceweasel window is moved to the current viewport (using xfce4),
and is stealing focus.

I feel this is a bug (I want to try have some order of my windows), but
perhaps it's an "feature", I don't know, but I report is as an bug.

Reproducible: Always
Same thing here under KDE, FWIW.
Still a problem in FF 3.0rc2.

about:config to set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true

If that behavior is not what you want then this is a dupe of bug 263553.

> about:config to set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true

I want it to be false, i.e. the new tab should become the current tab.

Probably. BTW, shouldn't it block the tracking bug 88810?
Possibly, though I don't really like long lived tracking bugs. They have a tendency to go off topic or get out of scope.
