Thanks for that script, it works very well. This is the behavior I wish Firefox could have out of the box (Reuse-window-in-current-desktop otherwise create-new-in-current-desktop). Much better than jumping to another desktop or opening tabs hidden into another desktop. Any chance for this to happen? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175904 Title: Firefox window moves to current workspace Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in GTK+: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in kdebase package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in meta-gnome2 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubufox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in firefox-3.0 package in Fedora: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 FYI: I upgraded to Hardy to be able to point people at bugs, if needed. So I am aware of the pre-alpha status of Hardy. When Firefox-3.0 is set as the default browser for Gnome (System, Preferences, Preferred Applications) all applications use the correct browser. However, I have my workspaces nicely arranged, and my browser is in workspace 2. When clicking a link (to open it) in gnome-terminal or Evolution, the Firefox-3.0 window moves to the workspace where I clicked the link. But I don't want the window to move, I want to move to the workspace where I left the window. IMHO, this is a bug. Thanks!
