Raising frame may help if window manager allows to do it. In some cases the only possibility for a window is to request attention. Creating new frame may be more reliable. Window manager may still take measures against focus stealing. I have heard that such feature exist, but I am unsure concerning severity of such policy.
However I was writing a more annoying issue. Firefox may quietly swallow attempt to launch external protocol handler. Even no message is spitted to console like in the case of unknown protocol or throttling due to multiple attempts during short interval of time. Emacs is completely unaware of capture attempt in such case.
