Firefox Trick: Prevent Browser from Stealing Focus
Published August 2nd, 2006 in All Categories, Firefox, How-to
Here is probably one of the most useful Firefox hack that I have encountered in the recent times - 
it prevents me from lot of frustration and saves lot of time.
Problem Description: Say, you have set Firefox as your default web browser. So when you click an external hyperlink in another application or file like a Microsoft Word document, Adobe PDF file, Outlook email or your desktop newsreader, the corresponding webpage is automatically opened inside Firefox.

So I have to minimize Firefox each time or click the application icon in the Windows status bar to bring back Microsoft Outlook or Word to the foreground.
