Public bug reported:
When a firefox instance is running with multiple windows, typing
"firefox somepage" should open somepage in an existing window.
Previously, that window was the last window accessed. Now, it is
difficult to predict in which window the new tab will open. Indeed, it
may open in a window in a different workspace even though the a window
in the current workspace has been used more recently.
