Hello,
I am not sure whether this problem affects real desktops or virtual desktops. I cannot test anything with real multiple monitors, because I currently do not have such setup.
However, speaking of virtual desktops - if I run Firefox on one virtual desktop and switch to another one, run a terminal session, I am able to get a new Firefox window to
open on the current virtual desktop - the one with the terminal.
I am using this command: firefox --browser
This will open a new detached Firefox window in the spot but it will keep all instance info as well as the profile. Can you try if it works for you?

Update
The "-new-instance" parameter didn't work as expected from the command line.
So, the other option may be to have Evolution start firefox with a profile different from the
default.
