Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:143.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/143.0

Steps to reproduce:

In Windows 11:

  1. Open a Firefox window on Desktop 1.
  2. Open a Firefox window on Desktop 2.
  3. Switch to Desktop 1 (and don't focus the Firefox window).
  4. Open a link from another application.

Actual results:

Windows will switch to Desktop 2 even though there is a usable Firefox window available on the current desktop (Desktop 1).

Expected results:

Firefox should preference browser windows on the current desktop when opening links to help prevent unnecessary desktop switching.

This should be fixed by bug 1423768, which will ship in Firefox 144. Thanks for the report!
