Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

A normal Firefox notification is to have the minimised window in the lower panel (sorry, I don't know what to call that) pulse with colour. E.g,. if you click on a link from another app like email, Firefox opens that page and you get that pulsing visual indicator from Firefox. That works.

But expected behaviour is that when you then give Firefox (or maybe that specific tab) the focus, that notification stops. This is the behaviour from Intrepid and previous versions. However, in Jaunty Beta, that no longer works. Even when the new tab has the focus (i.e, you have seen it), the pulsing notification continues. I haven't figured out what consistently makes it stop, but it seems to involve leaving that window and coming back 2-3 times to convince Firefox you've actually seen the new tab :)
