Interesting.  On Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090718 Minefield/3.6a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) it always goes to the background, regardless of the settings.  Confirming and consolidating.  Quick googling indicates this has been broken for years.

This testcase does the following:

Blurs the window as previously once it's loaded.
After five seconds it focuses the window again.

On Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) with dom.disable_window_flip

= true: The window goes to the background and then never returns
= false: The window goes to the background and then returns five seconds later
