I have investigated this, and it is actually a bug in firefox, which
does not
support startup notification properly. When the new window is created,
by default its _NET_WM_USER_TIME property (the time of the last user
activity in the window) gets set to the same as its "parent" window,
i.e.
the first firefox window. metacity's "focus stealing" prevention logic
compares this value to that of the window with focus, and will stack it
below the focus window if less.
This is a known problem; see:
