565544 - Web sites should not be able to steal focus when in chrome

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 125282

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Wayne Hill (UX Intern)]

(Note: this is filed as part of the “Paper Cut” bugs — we assume that there may be multiple existing bugs on this. Please make them block this bug, and we will de-dupe if they are indeed exactly the same. Thanks!)

To reproduce:
1. Start Firefox with a slow loading page
2. start typing in the chrome search while the page is loading
3. webpage steals focus while typing

Recommendation:
- Disallow pages to steal focus whenever a user is in the chrome.
- If there's been any keyboard input or mouse scrolling while the page is still loading, don't allow onload=setfocus()
- When focused with Cmd-L, if you hit Esc, you should be back in the web page

I think this is a dupe of bug 125282, which was fixed on the trunk.

Marked as duplicate, I believe this is the same thing too. Will re-open if I still see this behavior. Thanks, Daõ!

Dead key hit the wrong character, I meant:
