Why did you install 54 when that version is old? 56 is a beta. Why not install the latest nonbeta version? Do you want to receive betas? If a beta doesn't work properly and you want to revert, if the last nonbeta version workxz properly, which, presumably you had before the beta upgrade, that's the one to go back to, not an older vulnerable to security exploits version.
Also, while you had the beta installed, looking around at the settings regarding how the program starts would have disclosed the problem. Perhaps there is now a setting you can change to stop whatever is showing and causing the focus problem. You said it is broken. It may be or it may not be. It may be showing something many sighted people may want to see that can be turned off.

56 32 bit.
I was prompted by firefox to update last night. On reinstalling an older
version, in this case 54, the problem went away.

Is this 32 bit or 64 bit Firefox. It appears a bug needs to be filed. Which
version of Firefox. Please send an actual number, with steps to reproduce.
This seems serious.

Hi, agreed but I am using the latest version it works with the stable
version of nvda but not the RC and now this is on 2 computers now.

If it didn't happen in the previous version of Firefox, why would this
be an NVDA bug? It may be that NVDA will have to be modified because of
a change in Firefox, but I would think the logical cause would be Firefox.

It just did this and now it opens in some kind of bookmark panel.
One has to tab to find the actual displayed page. I am thinking this is a
Firefox bug. Toolbar for bookmarks is definitely off.

Anyone else noticed this?
