Firefox extension opens a little window always and takes the focus #359

In Firefox extension, the dialog box that appears when the extension get the page is always displayed in the foreground for a short time but long enough to take the focus of Firefox, it happens even if the option "Automatically close dialog box when capture is finished" is set to "always". Is there any way to prevent this dialog box from showing and taking Firefox's focus?

No, there's a current bug of Firefox that prevents such config from taking effect. We cannot do anything until Firefox fixes the API.

Keep this issue open as we need to update the code when Firefox fixes the API.
