That doesn't seem to have the EWMH hooks, so Firefox is probably falling
back to hard focusing its own windows. About the only way to prevent that
is to arrange for it to have a dummy XSetInputFocus() in scope, or to use a
hacked EWMH that advertises but ignores the EWMH focus change event. (This
hacked EWMH is not in xmonad-contrib. Yet.)
