It was more aimed at Rainer, as I use Firefox as well.=20

I did some quick testing to see if it was just kmail that opens tabs in=20
foreground in Chrome. Both Obsidian and LibreOffice do the same, so it look=
s=20
like it might not be a kmail specific issue but a chrome issue (it was one =
of=20
the reasons I gave up using chrome, among others). There are some extension=
s=20
to stop Chrome forcing opening in the foreground.=20

However, I'm not a developer of browser stuff so don't know. Hopefully one =
of=20
the developers will respond to the bug at some stage when they have time.
