Firefox 95 no longer changes focus in Ubuntu

Recently started that Firefox 95 no longer changes focus in Ubuntu 20.4 when mouse click is applied. Another Firefox window can be selected through taskbar mouseover on the logo or by minimizing one Firefox window to get to another Firefox window. A simple mouseover, no click, changes focus from Firefox to a window from another application and back to Firefox. This too is a new behavior. But, neither mouseover nor mouse click will change focus to another Firefox window.

Thanks. Must have been the OS but Firefox was the only app with an issue which is why I came here> Miraculously, the problem cured itself, perhaps with last night's update!

It may be something in your OS, DE or FF build because there is no change here on FF95.0.1. I still have to click another icon on the task manager to activate another application or FF window (or use shortcuts).
