Created window with window.open If I remove window from top, window.focus() does not work. Expecting new window to come back on top. See http://www.americasfreedompressalliance.us/VNotes2.html as example, all HTML code included Works properly with IE

Firefox has a setting that governs whether scripts can change the window z-order. By default, scripts are supposed to be disabled from doing that. You can test whether that is the issue:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste dom.d and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the dom.disable_window_flip preference to switch the value from true to false

Does that make any difference?
