Details

There is currently code in Firefox so that when a preference dialog is opened in a window and then invoked from a second window, the first preference dialog is focused: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/utilityOverlay.js#482 This code does not work properly if a subdialog is opened in preferences. To recreate, open two browser windows. In the first window, open preference, then go to the Advanced Tab, click network and then settings. Now go to the second browser window and open the preferences window. Focus is not switched. If you close the network settings dialog, focus properly goes to the preferences window.
Not valid with the new in content prefs.
