Firefox Team "Will Not Fix" Broken Tab Beh

algae writes: Since Firefox 3 was released, people who manually manage which sites can and cannot set cookies have been annoyed by new and unwanted behavior when loading tabs in the background. What's the problem? Whereas in previous versions of Firefox the cookie dialog was not tied to the tab setting the cookie, now a cookie prompt will instantly pull the tab in question to the foreground, making for a disruptive and annoying browsing experience. Even worse is that the bug in question has been marked "Will Not Fix", despite 58 comments asking for a return to previous behavior, and new duplicate bug reports coming in multiple times per week.
