That's a function of the window manager. The window manager would need

voodoo to make it work.
Either you misunderstood what I said or I am misunderstanding what you
are saying above but it seems to me that what you describe is what my
FF 3 is already doing. I just clicked a link on an email Chris Grau
sent shortly after yours about Chrome having 2% market share. When I
did that FF jumped from virtual desktop number 2 over here to virtual
desktop number 1 where my Thunderbird is running. Quite annoying. This
is new behavior in FF 3. I haven't changed anything in my window manager.
That *is* different. My FF 2 merely opens a new window in the current
workspace, but leaves all other windows wherever they are. I also
recall in some cases, it merely opens up a new tab in the most recently
used window, but leaves it on whatever Workspace it happens to be. I
think this has to do with one of the *many* settings in TabsMix+. I
infrequently change some of its settings to see what will happen.
