Did those changes work before? I expect that's a function of the
window manager, not firefox. I use gnome shell and when I click on a
link, it even switches desktops to the one where I keep the firefox
windows.
Yes, there's also a box in XFCE settings that needs to be checked and I
always do that.
Again from my notes:
"To prevent Firefox from stealing Thunderbird focus when cllicking on a
link in an e-mail:
XFCE Settings
Window Manager Tweaks
Focus
Honor standard ICCCM focus hint Leave this checked.
Then check "Do nothing"
Stops Firefox from taking the Thunderbird window when a link is clicked on."
These settings usually work, changes I make routinely, and they work in F22.
I just thought I would mention it since it appears to be a new problem,
Thanks for responding,
Bob
