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?
