Tired of Swagbucks (Firefox) nCrave throwing me to new active window. Any way to not let Firefox swap me to the new window?

I run Swagbucks nCrave for the AGCs. The irritant is this: *every* time the content window timer hits 0 and goes to next thing, that new window always gets in front of any Firefox tab or window I got open, so I have to alt+tab back to whatever I was watching.

Is there a way to change the settings so that Firefox doesn't throw me to every newly opened window? It's really irritating.

All that accomplished is letting me decide whether it's being forced to window or a tab.

I need an option that specifically prevents the nCrave script from forcing my browser to change active tab/window. Might be in the middle of reading IT news, for example, and it's annoying having to alt+tab every 50 seconds because nCrave window keeps running script to make it the active one.
