[GLLUG] Firefox 3 vs. 2

[Chick Tower]

I guess everybody else automatically accepts or denies cookies, rather 
than accepting or denying them on a case-by-case basis, as I do.  <rant> 
Some _idiot_ Firefox developer decided each window tab should grab focus 
whenever a cookie acceptance dialog is displayed.  (A Bugzilla note says 
it even grabs focus from other applications!)  Thus, whenever one is 
trying to read a page while loading other pages in background tabs, the 
focus switches to the querying tab that was in the background, 
supposedly so users won't be confused about which tab is querying them. 
  This just makes me want to scream!  Not only that, but it appears in 
Bugzilla, despite many complaints from users, the "feature" will not be 
fixed because that's the way it's supposed to work.  If I can't find a 
plugin to fix this, I'm going back to version 2.0.0.16 until they get 
version 3 right, if ever.  If they don't, I guess it's goodbye Firefox 
for me. </rant>
