I'm new to osx and one thing keeps annoying me (especially when working on multiple monitors): I have to click a app window first to make it active, and then I can click a button and/or use my scroll wheel.

Also automatic popups need to be clicked twice before something happens - once for window activation and a second time to actually click something.

For example Filezilla popup when I save a .css file in a text editor: Filezilla asks if I want to upload the file since the temp file changed, but I have to click it twice because it's not the active application.

Also when I'm checking my email on monitor 2, and have a browser on monitor 1, I always have to click the browser once to activate it before I can continue browsing.

Is there a way to bypass this annoying window behaviour?
