I just wanted to say I found the comments in this (old) bug so very helpful. I am one on the "opposite" camp, though ... I do want Firefox to open and display the links I click on in other apps. And, I know it did used to work that way ... not sure when it changed. Fortunately, I use compiz and (after reading the comments in this bug) found "Focus Prevention Level" was set to "low". I changed it to "off" and once again, pages displayed when I click on their link! So, while not a "fix" for original complaint, I really appreciate the comments.
