Clicking on a link in a message does not switch the window to the browser

[Thomas Bechtold]

When I click on a link (http or https) in a Thunderbird message, the link gets opened in the browser (in my case google-chrome) but the window (google-chrome) is not focused. So I stay in thunderbird and I need to press 2x! ALT+Tab to get to the google-chrome window.

Note: this happens when I don't have the "Ubuntu Dock" and "Ubuntu AppIndicator" extensions enabled. I reenabled both and now it seems to work again.
