Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Web Console (Shift+Ctrl+K or a menu item).
2. Switch it to Window mode (Position → Window).
3. Close Web Console.
4. Open Web Console using Shift+Ctrl+K.
5. Press Shift+Ctrl+K.


Actual results:

When performing step 4:
* Web Console window appears. It is active, so the source Firefox window becomes inactive.
* Web Console window becomes inactive. Firefox window stays inactive.

When performing step 5:
* Nothing, because both Web Console and main Firefox window are inactive.


Expected results:

After step 4, one of the windows is active, so
after step 5, the Web Console window closes.
