Looking in gconf
at /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/focus_prevention_level the value
was already set to 1 which means 'low'. I changed it to 0 (off) and it
now also works for me. At least with the described Firefox scenario.

Not sure what side effects this may cause. I will keep an eye on it.

... just found another situation where this workaround is useful:
opening an image from Nautilus with Gimp, then switching back to
Nautilus and open another image with Gimp. Without this workaround the
newly opened window with the image will stay in the background, with it
the image will pop up in front of the Nautilus window.

Thanks for the hint!
