When my GMail App Tab loads, it deselects the Mozilla Firefox window. Why?

I have a Gmail App Tab on my Mozilla Firefox. But, whenever I load Firefox and the Gmail tab finishes loading before I can input any action (click a link, load a URL link), Firefox "deselects" itself (like as if I ALT+Tab'ed from the window. I have looked in the Support regarding App Tabs, but have found no answers or similar problems.

Hi,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

If the problem persists then it could be another Windows application, or background application that is taking the focus away.

I reset Firefox and restarted the Gmail App Tab. It does the same thing; when Gmail loads, Firefox deselects itself. I believe it is a problem with either Gmail as an App Tab, or any App Tab that requires the loading of information.

Thanks for trying to help!
