I have had many many many focus problems with mozilla and firefox.
Sometimes page down will apear to do nothing, yet I later discover
some other opened tab has paged down for no reason. Opening a link in
a new window using the right click menu loses focus when the new
window goes away; I have to click in the old window to use page
up/down again. Pasting into the URL field with the middle button
sometimes forgets the focus and I have to click somewhere in the URL
in order to hit ENTER. Showing a tab while it is still resolving the
name or before anything much has been downloaded (and nothing
displayed) leaves the focus somewhere other than the page itself, and
I have to click somewhere innocuous before page up/down work.

Some are repeatable, most are not. Mozilla/firefox has terrible focus
problems, whether using it with Redhat, gentoo, or slackware.
