I will strongly CONFIRM this bug that prevents from focusing windows in Firefox (Iceweasel) 2.0.0.1 on Debian Etch. The package is installed from Debian Etch.

This bug almost made me crazy some two years ago and I tried to forget it to preserve my health. I have not followed this thread and I am glad to see that it has got SOME attention.

I just want to add that I regularly update my system including Firefox but have NOT SEEN ANY CHANGE as regards this problem. Now I use 2.0.0.1 and the dreadful behavior is always the same: window.focus() does NEVER WORK, at least not for me. Apologies.

P.S. I have "Allow scripts to: raise or lower windows" checked in advanced
JavaScript preferences.
