Details
At various times Mozilla will bring itself to the top and take the focus.
In addition to being very confusing behaviour this has serious risks, I know
for one I've been in the process of entering a password when another instance
of the browser came to the top, took the focus and got some portion of my
password typed at it. If this is not exploitable (that is the focus never
goes to anything that can recieve my typing), it's at least annoying and
should be corrected. Specifically, I don't believe Netscape should _ever_
come to the top/claim the focus even in error conditions.
I notice this all the time when I have two or more browsers open, I enter the
address I'd like to visit in one, switch to the other to read the page there
and as soon as the other page I requested is "viewable" it comes to the top!
