I had that problem months ago too. Not recently. I can add some hints:


1/  i'd ssh in or switch to a console and try:

xdpyinfo |grep focus
to get the focused-window id, and
xwininfo -id {the found id}

to get the window name. Then compare w/ what SF thinks is focused.



2/ with gtk+ (and i assume firefox uses the gtk event distribution) a widget can
 "grab" a focus for a group of windows. Mybe some bug in that might cause this
 behaviour.


Try w/ another window manager to verify it's (not) SF specific.
