Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 77675

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

I often have several windows loading content in the background, and I don't like
it when they suddenly begin popping to the foreground in front of pages I'm
browsing or more annoyingly, forms I'm filling out. They ought to stay where
they are until I click on them to bring them to the foreground.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a slowly loading page
2.open several other URLs, start browsing or filling out a form
3.oh no, the page in step 1 has jumped in front of the form you're filling out.
hope you remember whether you'd just typed in your password properly on that
form. Oh well I guess you can just click the form back to the foreground and
start over. Inconvenient though.

Actual Results:  My attention was diverted, and RSI began to set in.

Expected Results:  It should have let the slow page load in the background and
it should have left it there for me to bring to the foreground at a time of my
own  choosing.
