Reading through all of this I've had exactly this same bug since 11.04 I think, or it may have been a later release. Anyhow I'm now running a fully updated 12.10 x86-64 bit release, and the issue s still here. I run in the Gnome fall-back session with Cairo Dock on a dual monitor setup. Not sure if the latter is in any way relevant, but it might be.

Further to the information supplied so far, I also sometimes see another (apparent) side effect of the FF window losing its window decoration. Without the decoration, even when this window is the last one clicked on it somehow is not in the foreground. I can switch tabs, but Cairo Dock appears in the foreground over it, and anything typed continues to appear in another full screen window on the other monitor, usually Gnome Terminal in my case. Does anyone else see this behaviour?

It also doesn't seem to happen every time I click on a link in another app. It seems fairly random, sometimes happening every time, other times not for many such click-throughs.

While I'm not a programmer so unused to debugging such things, I am an experiences SysAdmin and am happy to help in any way I can to diagnose and fix this rather annoying bug.

Many Thanks and Best Regards,

Dan.
