Lately, since FF 23.0.1, my "main" FF window (the one where I keep gmail and other pinned tabs), simply won't release the focus to any other Firefox window or any other app at all. To see the other windows, I have to minimize this one.

I closed it yesterday, and for a while after I reopened, it allowed other things to take focus, but then it stopped allowing again.

I've tried closing every single tab but a blank one, and it still won't release.

Any thoughts?

Running Win7, 64-bit.

Are there any plugins like Flash used in tabs in that main window (i.e. there is an active plugin container process)?

I think so. A couple windows have youtubes that I haven't watched yet. Is that what you mean?

However, I used to have such open without this issue. Also, it continued after I closed all the tabs. Would that not have "fixed" it?
