I use multiple tabs, and frequently load a bunch of tabs at once from bookmarks. If I'm in a fresh session (that is, I've actually _paid attention to basic security procedures_) and one of those tabs has a login possibility, Password Manager pops up in the foreground... even when not focused on that tab.
Do. Not. Want.
Password Manager SHOULD NOT either pop up or steal focus until I'm actually on a tab for which it has relevance. If that means jumping through six other tabs before reaching it, that's the way it should work. If that means taking a second or two of extra time when I reach that tab, that's the way it should work.
Is there (I hope!) an about:config setting I can change that won't simultaneously kill off Password Manager entirely?
For completeness:
Windows 10
Firefox 63.0.3 (although this has been a problem for quite some time, back into the 30s)
PS This appears to be a consequence of the relentless, umm, focus on single-tab smartphone users as the default. That's not me.
