Comment 4 for bug 1009816

@Evan,

What I'm saying is I want Firefox to act like it did before the upgrade in regards to focus policy.

The way it was before is that Firefox would only come to the front if there were not already and instance running. People often will go through their emails and/or RSS feeds clicking links, but not wish to go see or go to them until they are finished with all the emails/feeds.

Firefox 13 should, as it did before, remain in the background when it opens a new tab if that is my wish. Firefox needs honor the users settings/wishes as far as focus goes.

I tested this on my laptop, which still had FF 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1. I upgraded Firefox and only Firefox. Before the upgrade, Firefox remained in the background when I clicked on a link from an email. After the upgrade, Firefox no longer remained in the background when I clicked on a link from an email.

A major operational feature is no longer performing the way it did prior to the upgrade. This is a bug, not a feature request.
