Tab from the background is brought to the top in Firefox #486

Open CennoxX opened 3 weeks ago

CennoxX commented 3 weeks ago

When I open a link in the background (for example through middle mouse click on a link) and a cookie-consent is automatically filled in the tab, I expect this to be done in the background. Instead in some cases in Firefox the tab from the background is brought to the top, when the cookie-consent is confirmed/cannot be confirmed.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Middleclick on the link https://www.webtoffee.com/gdpr-cookie-consent-banner-examples/
  2. Wait for 15 seconds
  3. Focus will switch to the site
  4. To retry, clear cookies of said site

This works differently with Firefox on Linux apparently, where the tab seems to stay in the background while being handled. To be honest nobody thought about this specific use case - we will have to verify that the code even does what it is supposed to in this situation, not just in regard to the focus issue mentioned.
