However, if the last Firefox window to have focus before the URL is clicked was the Downloads window, then while the URL is correctly loaded in the main browser window it is the downloads window which is given focus and brought to the front of the visible windows. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Firefox 2. Open the Downloads window (Tools|Downloads) 3. Switch to another application and click on a URL (i.e. a website link in a RSS message from within Thunderbird, or a URL in an e-mail in Outlook) Actual Results: The URL is loaded in the main browser window but it is the download window which is given focus and brought to the front Expected Results: The main browser window should have been given the focus instead of the Downloads window
