Description
All of the correct Javascript seems to be being called. In particular, window.focus() is called in the main/top frame. However, this does not bring the focus back to the main/top frame (as expected).
To reproduce:
- Go here.
gfgF
Observe that the focus is not in the main/top frame (you can't scroll it, say).
Firefox only.
(There is a lot of stuff which doesn't work in Firefox. Help/input would be appreciated.)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the gf then gF sequence on the linked page in Firefox and trace the mainFrame focus handling. Verify how the Firefox-specific path responds to window.focus(); done means gF returns focus to the main/top frame so it can be scrolled.
