Opening link in browser

Hi,

The issue I’m having is pretty simple. I’m opening a URL from my AIR application using the following code:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://" + url), “_blank”);

I’m using Firefox 3 on Windows Vista, and when the opener is called, it opens a new tab in the browser, but the browser doesn’t get focused. So if Firefox is minimized when that line is called, you don’t even really know the URL was opened. It only happens sometimes. I think it happens when Firefox looses focus without getting specifically minimized, if that makes sense.

My question is, how can I make it so Firefox gets maximized or focused when the URL is opened by the AIR application? This seems like only a problem with Firefox, or at least from my tests it seems that way.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
