Which desktop environment are you on? - I think I might have seen
somewhere that you are on Xfce (but I am not sure) -

in that case - see

https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/faq#firefox_jumps_between_workspaces_why

which might be the cause of your problems. Change that setting to something you 
want.

You might try Edit → Settings, and check the
  Open links in tabs instead of new windows
box under Tabs.

Cheers,

[gene heskett]

it is most inconvenient to have it jump workspaces and open the link on 
top of the tbird screen.


Thank you
