There is an Unfocus add-on that seems to do this well, although right now it's implemented as a command line option. It's in JavaScript of course, but how about using the same underlying mechanism? Looking at the source (save xpi as zip and open components/cmd.js), this appears to be the code that actually does the unfocusing:
function unfocus() { var wm = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1"] .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator); var browserWindow = wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser"); if(browserWindow.document.commandDispatcher.focusedElement) browserWindow.document.commandDispatcher.focusedElement.blur() browserWindow.focus(); browserWindow.focus(); } -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
