This is an old problem that has NOT been solved by Mozilla/Adobe. If you load a flash web page, do nothing involving flash for a few minutes, and then load a new flash page in a different FF window, application focus will get yanked to the OLD window (the one you haven't touched in minutes). This problem was documented here as far back as June 2012. But for some reason the thread was closed even though the issue has not been fixed.

This issue has nothing to do with extensions or outdated plugins, as I can replicate it with a fresh copy of FF on a brand new Win7 machine with no options changed on FF. Yes, I am using the very latest Flash plugin, which works fine with the exception of this persistent and annoying issue. The issue does not exist with Chrome, and therefore it should be a priority for Mozilla to work with Adobe to fix it ASAP.

Sorry, solutions to problems such as that don't come from this support forum. Bugzilla is the place to report Bugs like that.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
First search for an existing Bug, then if none is found file your own report providing as much information as you can about your issue.

Clearly, that process is not working efficiently. I was able to locate the bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768802) just now. It has been 7 months, over many new releases of FF and Flash, and the problem still exists, affecting every single Windows Vista/7/8 Firefox user.

What options do we have to make this a bigger priority?
