I try this:

1) minimise firefox
2) clic on firefox icon in unity launch bar --> nothing
3) click on another program window
4) clic on firefox icon in unity launch bar --> firefox window appears

normally, when you click on an icon in the unity launch panel, the program should have the focus and apperas.

Thanks for your help.

LGDN.
