Some tool at firefox, which I’ve started using more with more web dev (<3 firebug), decided it’d be a good idea to switch windows if you type in a URL that is already open.   Unbelievable that they think this is good UI practice (switching focus invisibly to another fucking monitor is progress?)  And having no option to delete this asinine feature?
