I noticed this on earlier trunk builds, but several weeks ago it stopped happening. Several days ago, however, it started happening again. The problem happens for every link I open from another application, like Chatzilla, Thunderbird, or GNOME Terminal, all of which presumably use /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser to open links in the &quot;preferred application&quot; on my Ubuntu 6.10 system, which is /usr/bin/firefox (which then forwards the link to the actual binary currently running). I can also trigger the bug by entering the following into a terminal window or &quot;Run Application&quot; dialog: /home/myk/Applications/firefox/firefox <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mozilla.org/">http://www.mozilla.org/</a> On Firefox 2, the window doesn't raise, focus, or change desktops, although its task manager icon does start throbbing. This seems like the optimal behavior, at least if the preference &quot;When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately&quot; is turned off, since it mimics the behavior of Firefox itself when you open a link in a new tab (i.e. the tab doesn't raise/focus).</div></div><div class="change-set" id="a1911988_27300"><div class="change" id="aa1911988_27300"> <table class="layout-table change-head reporter" role="presentation"> <tr> <td rowspan="2" class="change-gravatar"><div class="vcard vcard_27300" id="a1911988_27300"><img src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c8a27f1c79d0e7fafc8faa2c5ab6df3a?d=mm&size=64" class="gravatar" width="32" height="32"> </div> </td> <td class="change-author"><div class="vcard vcard_27300" id="a1911988_27300"><a class="email " href="/user_profile?user_id=27300" > <span class="fna">Myk Melez [:myk] [&#64;mykmelez]</span></a> </div> <span class="user-role">Reporter</span> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="comment-actions"><div role="group"> <button type="button" class="change-spinner ghost iconic" id="as-a1911988_27300" aria-label="Collapse" aria-expanded="true" data-strings='{ "collapse_label": "Collapse", "expand_label": "Expanded" }'> <span class="icon" aria-hidden="true"></span> </button> </div></td> </tr> <tr id="ar-a1911988_27300"> <td> <h3 class="change-name"> <a href="/show_bug.cgi?id=388664#a1911988_27300">Updated</a> </h3> &bull; <div class="change-time"><span class="rel-time" title="2007-08-09 16:18 PDT" data-time="1186701518">17 years ago</span> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><div class="activity"><div class="change">Keywords: <a href="/buglist.cgi?keywords=regression&amp;resolution=---">regression</a></div><div class="change">Whiteboard: [myk:catfood]</div></div></div><div class="change-set" id="c1"><div class="comment" data-id="3301134" data-no="1" data-tags=""> <table class="layout-table change-head " id="ch-1" role="presentation"> <tr> <td rowspan="2" class="change-gravatar"><div class="vcard vcard_287523" id="a1911988_27300"><img src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b4cf7334191dd4e14e63158c37402fe5?d=mm&size=64" class="gravatar" width="32" height="32"> </div> </td> <td class="change-author"><div class="vcard vcard_287523" id="a1911988_27300"><a class="email disabled" href="/user_profile?user_id=287523" > <span class="fna">Joe Smith</span></a> </div> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="comment-actions"><div role="group"> <button type="button" class="change-spinner ghost iconic" id="cs-1" aria-label="Collapse" aria-expanded="true" data-strings='{ "collapse_label": "Collapse", "expand_label": "Expanded" }'> <span class="icon" aria-hidden="true"></span> </button> </div></td> </tr> <tr id="cr-1" > <td> <h3 class="change-name"> <a href="/show_bug.cgi?id=388664#c1">Comment 1</a> </h3> &bull; <div class="change-time"><span class="rel-time" title="2007-09-04 00:30 PDT" data-time="1188891009">17 years ago</span> </div> </td> </tr> <tr id="ctag-1"> <td colspan="2" class="comment-tags"> </td> </tr> </table> </div><div class="comment-text " id="ct-1" data-comment-id="3301134">Running Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe 5, GNOME 2.19.7, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007090304 Minefield/3.0a8pre This has been happening to me every time I click a link from the gnome-terminal.</div></div><div class="change-set" id="c2"><div class="comment" data-id="3301153" data-no="2" data-tags=""> <table class="layout-table change-head " id="ch-2" role="presentation"> <tr> <td rowspan="2" class="change-gravatar"><div class="vcard vcard_287523" id="a1911988_27300"><img src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b4cf7334191dd4e14e63158c37402fe5?d=mm&size=64" class="gravatar" width="32" height="32"> </div> </td> <td class="change-author"><div class="vcard vcard_287523" id="a1911988_27300"><a class="email disabled" href="/user_profile?user_id=287523" > <span class="fna">Joe Smith</span></a> </div> </td> <td rowspan="2" class="comment-actions"><div role="group"> <button type="button" class="change-spinner ghost iconic" id="cs-2" aria-label="Collapse" aria-expanded="true" data-strings='{ "collapse_label": "Collapse", "expand_label": "Expanded" }'> <span class="icon" aria-hidden="true"></span> </button> </div></td> </tr> <tr id="cr-2" > <td> <h3 class="change-name"> <a href="/show_bug.cgi?id=388664#c2">Comment 2</a> </h3> &bull; <div class="change-time"><span class="rel-time" title="2007-09-04 00:48 PDT" data-time="1188892086">17 years ago</span> </div> </td> </tr> <tr id="ctag-2"> <td colspan="2" class="comment-tags"> </td> </tr> </table> </div><div class="comment-text " id="ct-2" data-comment-id="3301153">A bit of clarification: Gutsy Tribe 5 is the 5th development (alpha) release of Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon.

After reading what James wrote[0], I went to investigate this a bit. 0. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486570#15">http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486570#15</a> First, I found the single call to gtk_window_present in the Firefox source and disabled it: --- a/widget/src/gtk2/nsWindow.cpp +++ b/widget/src/gtk2/nsWindow.cpp &#64;&#64; -1406,7 +1406,7 &#64;&#64; nsWindow::SetFocus(PRBool aRaise) owningWindow-&gt;mContainerBlockFocus = PR_TRUE; // Set focus to the window - if (gRaiseWindows &amp;&amp; aRaise &amp;&amp; toplevelWidget &amp;&amp; + if (0 &amp;&amp; gRaiseWindows &amp;&amp; aRaise &amp;&amp; toplevelWidget &amp;&amp; !GTK_WIDGET_HAS_FOCUS(toplevelWidget) &amp;&amp; owningWindow-&gt;mIsShown &amp;&amp; GTK_IS_WINDOW(owningWindow-&gt;mShell)) gtk_window_present(GTK_WINDOW(owningWindow-&gt;mShell)); and built new packages, but the problem remained. However, I found a couple of curiousities. I have three heads one two graphics cards, and I use Zaphod mode to put them all next to each other. head 0 is on GPU 0, and heads 1&amp;2 are on GPU 1. 1. the focus is never stolen when the Firefox window is on heads 1&amp;2, not even if the link is clicked on another head. 2. if I move the window from head 0 to head 1 and back, then it no longer steals focus, not even if the click is on a separate head. 3. if I move the window from head 0 to head 1, click a link, and move it back to head 0, then the focus stealing happens again. I then went back to investigate these three points with the original Firefox packages, i.e. without the above patch, and the behaviour is identical. Then I investigated the urgency hint, using xprop -spy: I started it in a terminal, then X-pasted a link into that terminal and clicked it. I did this to avoid changing focus with the mouse while testing. There was nothing in the output of xprop -spy mentioning an urgency hint. I did verify that xprop -spy shows the urgency hint, using URxvt.urgentOnBell and echo -e '\a'. This is starting to feel a bit like a riddle. For me, (2.) above is an okay workaround at the moment, but it really seems like the Firefox code needs some cleaning.</div></div><div class="change-set" id="a217913337_30393"><div class="change" id="aa217913337_30393"> <table class="layout-table change-head " role="presentation"> <tr> <td rowspan="2" class="change-gravatar"><div class="vcard vcard_30393" id="a217913337_30393"><img src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ee6b316dfcc745d220b6e5aa822a9aa2?d=mm&size=64" class="gravatar" width="32" height="32"> </div> </td> <td class="change-author"><div class="vcard vcard_30393" id="a217913337_30393"><a class="email " href="/user_profile?user_id=30393" > <span class="fna">Tobias B.
