I have a similar issue (running Gusty, Firefox 2.0.0.12): Open firefox in two workspaces (workspaces 1 and 2). Open evolution in workspace 1 and make sure evolution is the last thing clicked in this workspace. Switch to workspace 2 and make sure firefox is the last thing clicked in this workspace. Switch to workspace 1 and click a link in an email. The link will open in workspace 2 instead of workspace 1.
The same thing happens if you try to open a local .html file in workspace 1 -- it will open in firefox in workspace 2. This bug is also related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/18150 The behaviour seems to be that firefox always uses whichever process was last active to open a new tab or dialog, instead of preferentially using the process on the current workspace. -- "Confirm Close" dialog can come up in wrong window on file->quit when firefox is open in multiple workspaces https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105355 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
