This is the bug I am getting with Compiz but not Metacity:

Precondition: Set up Firefox to open a new link in a new window instead
of a new tab (using the Preferred Applications Dialog)
1.) Open Evolution
2.) Click on a link in an e-mail
3.) Firefox opens with the link and comes into front/focus.
4.) Switch back to Evolution and select another link
5.) A new Firefox window opens with the link but it stays in the back

This only happens with Compiz. When Firefox is set up to open the new
link in a new tab instead it works with Metacity and Compiz. In both
cases Firefox jumps to the front opening the link in the new tab.
