This has been one of the pet peeves of just about everyone who uses a 
Mac Gecko-based product since the security fix of a year ago caused 
the sheet to display the tab which called it.  There are several bugs 
on this in the Core, including 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123913> 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123908> and the generic 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59314>.

Unfortunately, it's going to be exceedingly difficult to fix any time 
soon; Simon pretty succinctly sums up the obstacles to fixing this 
behavior in
