How do I stop Yahoo mail's popup dialog box from changing the tab focus?

Hi,

When I have a tab opened to Yahoo mail and I open a Yahoo email on my other computer or Blackberry, there's a time delay and at some point, Yahoo shifts my browser focus to display a pop-up dialog box that says "You have been disconnected from chat because you have signed into Yahoo! Messenger from another computer." I can't even switch back to the tab I was on without dismissing the popup.

I'd love it if I could turn off the pop-up, - don't care about the disconnection - but in the meantime, is there some way to prevent Yahoo from changing my tab focus?

Thanks!
