(Whiteboard: [fixed by bug 369306 ])

Clicks should allow scripts to call window.focus() on other windows, since they can open new focused windows, but should not allow scripts to call window.focus() on themselves, since that is pretty much only used to hide the origin of pop-up ads ("pop-unders").  I originally suggested this in bug 355482 comment 0.

The patch in bug 369306 implements this.  Actually, the exact semantics are slightly more restrictive: window A can focus window B iff A created B.

Depends on: 369306
So does bug 369306 being fixed means this one's fixed, too?
Yes, this is fixed too.
