Stop Sites From Stealing The Focus in Firefox

Sick of sites that steal the cursor (known as the focus) while you are typing? Here's how to stop that in Firefox.

• Surf to about:config
• right-click and select "new->string"

If you want to disable ALL attempts to autofocus:

• Preference Name: capability.policy.default.HTMLInputElement.focus
• Value:  noAccess

If you want to restrict certain annoying sites only, follow the same steps where name=value for the following three pair:

• capability.policy.policynames=nofocus
• capability.policy.nofocus.sites=http://www.google.com http:://www.yahoo.com
• capability.policy.nofocus.HTMLInputElement.focus=noAccess
