Public bug reported:
configuring a wifi router with the Ubuntu browser, I thought the website
or browser would not work because clicking links would not do anything.
Took me quite a while to find out that clicking that link actually
opened popups in new tabs, but because new tabs are not focused by
default, and also hidden in the bottom edge when the window is smallish,
I opened like 20 popups before even realizing what's going on.
=> when a website opens a new tab or popup (which effectively ends up as
a tab in this browser) as response to a user interaction (I actively
clicked a link to open it, it wasn't just spam) it should be
automatically focused, or, at the very least some clear indication that
there has been a new tab opened.
