Windows 10 automatically switches between active windows
Active window (program) unexpectedly loses focus in Windows 7is there a way to disable Windows from switching window focus when I am typing?Any active browser intermittently freezes after using it for a while - how to diagnose?Disable auto-switching between desktops in Windows 10Why does the active Firefox window occasionally lose focus?is it possible to make Windows highlight the active window/app?Clicking on a URL opens it in the default browser, but it does not always bring the browser window to the front. Why is that?Can I prevent Windows 10 from opening new windows in the foreground?How to run a web page like it is an app?I Need to Keep a Window Active
I usually have two browser windows open when I'm working on my PC (one for working and one for watching online TV - not on an app).
Problem is, that while I am typing away in the active browser window, it will suddenly automatically switch to the other browser window which results in a bunch of "return to previous page" via backspace, muting the 'TV', scrolling around and other crazy annoying things (during the time it took me to type this so far I have exited the TV show I'm watching 4 times...).
This is not a keyboard-shortcut issue since it also happens when I'm just reading something without touching any keys. I simply want the window I selected and am working in to STAY as the active window and not automatically switch to the other window without warning.
Does anyone know how to fix this or turn it off?

I confirm. FF is trying to work in the background and some pages may cause it to try to become the active window. It has been reported to them, the config is a good temporary solution until it gets patched.
