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.
I don't have an answer, but maybe there is a setting in about:config
that is altering this in the Fedora version. I'm not sure what you
would look for as a search item, so it might be difficult to find any
setting for that.
Had the same thought.
Certainly did not find the right setting if it is in there.
Hmm, can about:config be dumped. I've two firefoxes, one is
misbehaving. Perhaps a diff on the two dumps.
Yes, you can save about:config as a *.txt. A diff showed
about 500 differences, most related to extensions in one
firefox, not in the barely used Mozilla supplied one. I
was unable to detect any setting as the culprit.
I started the mozilla supplied firefox with the Fedora
version's profile. It now exhibits the undesired behavior.
I don't use a lot of extensions, but I disabled all of them
and restarted the mozilla supplied firefox with the Fedora's
version profile, still exhibiting the undesired behavior.
So it appears to be something in my profile, but what?
