Details

Right now when you load a url the window that the url is loaded into is rasied to the top of the stack. This is really annoying - everyone I know hates it including me. This is because there is a SetFocus() call somewhere in the URI loading. We need to pref it and turn it off for unix.

Hmm perhaps a "mosthated" keyword is called for. Included this one, bug 28467 now has 8 unique duplicates. (28467 "Windows switch z-order when running a URL")
Indeed! I run fvwm2 usually and mozilla will force its window to the top but it does not always grab focus so I have to unwedge this manually. At shutdown, mozilla likes to bring each of its open windows to the top just to close them. Once I close a program, I don't want to the bothered by it.

saari mentioned that he had some of these bugs so I'll reassign it to him.
