Have a problem with certain webpages stealing focus. I have tried googling this issue, but as most people know, it's pretty much impossible to search for anything involving punctuation on Google.

I have registry settings in place to stop regular focus-stealing, however this does nothing when it's firefox stealing its own window priority.

I'd love to know how to entirely disable the javascript function this.focus(), be it using a greasemonkey script or otherwise.


Can anyone shed light on this issue?

hello, please check in firefox > options > content > javascipt - advanced that the "raise or lower windows" setting is disabled.
