This happens for me also (Firefox 3.0 RC1 with Openbox 3.4.7.2), and in a couple of other situations, such as when debugging in Eclipse and a breakpoint is hit, Eclipse will move to my current desktop.

I guess this is the reason? (from the 3.4.7 Changelog)
 - Change _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages to not change the current desktop, but to bring the window to the current desktop instead. This is the industry standard policy

Is there a way to force the old behaviour via the config?
