Hello,

Since 4.4 (or 4.5) when I open a link, the browser automatically gets the focus.

How revert this behavior (keep the focus on the current windows)?

Commit fa4894f added this feature because some programs want to get focused. The only way to revert this is to edit the code and remove handling of _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW event. If the main developer (micheal) agree then I can implement a boolean option for it in the config file.

We want to address this in a broader scope. There are other places in i3 where focus gets set (managing a new window) and that should be affected by such a setting, too. Also, it might be worthwhile to make that per-window.

Ok, i3 have a right behaviour, this is firefox that steal the focus when I open an URL. The parameter *browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground* fix this problem.
