I use a mate/compiz desktop environment. Typically I have
6 workspaces available with 3 to dedicated tasks. WS#1 is
my primary terminal windows. WS#2 is firefox and WS#3 is
thunderbird and calendar.
Sometimes I will highlight a web URL and right click to
get an action menu. To open the link I select "open link
address".
Pre-F37 behavior: Firefox remains in WS#2, the link is opened
in a new tab in Firefox, and my working environment is switched
to WS#2 (the one with Firefox).
Post-F37 Upgrade behavior: the link is opened in a new tab in
Firefox and the firefox application is moved from WS#2 to my
current working environment (typically WS#1).
I can't figure out which if any setting in firefox, mate, or
compiz might be affecting this behavior. Ideas?
I have the same story using KDE, so it doesn't appear to be Mate or
Compiz. I think I actually prefer it that way, as previously the new
tab would open in one of several existing browser windows on different
desktops, and it wasn't always easy to see which one.
Maybe try setting some other browser as your default to see if the same
thing happens.
Some interesting updates. First apologies, the update was to F36,
not F37. I did my laptop to 37 but just to 36 for the desktop.
Following Patrick's suggestion I tried setting other browsers as
my default. I used Brave and Chrome. Both exhibited my desired
behavior, the browser remained in WS#2 and my current workspace
shifted.
I also had a copy of the Mozilla version of firefox. It installs
to /opt/firefox and gets its own profile etc. When I set that to
my default browser, like Brave and Chrome, it exhibits the desired
behavior, stays put and my current workspace changes.
When I reset my default browser to the Fedora provided version,
108.0.1-3.fc36, the unwanted behavior returns (firefox application
switches to current workspace rather than remain in WS#2.
Still no idea why though, just know it is specific to Fedora version
of Firefox.
