Yes this can be annoying, I had gotten used to looking at the tray icon,
as it will usually display the page it is currently on.
When I click gmail, it says "Welcome to Gmail" in the tray. I can
confirm that Firefox does not in fact open in a new window, but does
open in a new tab instead, so if Firefox is minimized, and the user does
not look at the tray icon, they may not know they opened a new tab.

By default, Firefox does not open as a new window.
