User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 Build ID: 20130201065344 Steps to reproduce: Load a HTTPS site in one tab while browsing a different tab. Actual results: The HTTPS site requests some unencrypted adresses so the tab is brought to front and the dialog "Security Warning" appears to question if this should continue. This disrupts the current browsing (or worse, typing some e-mail or other input). Expected results: There are more than one option: 1. Do not auto-focus the tab but wait until the tab gets focused by the user 2. Allow "remember choice on this domain" or similar to avoid getting the same disruption again and again. Also, including the adress of the requested resource should be added so that one can actually determine whether this is safe or not.
