Hi,
dexpot 1.5.59 build 1776 on Win 7 64.
I have Firefox as my default browser.
If I click a url link in an email or MS Messenger and Firefox is already running on the current screen, the new page opens in a new tab as expected.
If firefox is running on a different screen, it's 'moved' to the present screen.
If Firefox is not already running, the new page opens in a tab on an 'invisible' firefox.
I only discovered this due to a link to a BBC news item with a self-playing video - the audio was playing but no firefox on any desktop.
I ended up closing the invisible copy via task manager, then starting firefox caused it to recover the tabs that were previously open - eight different pages.. I though I was missing the links when I was clicking them.
This has just shown another oddity - after firefox has been 'forced' to a different desktop by opening a link, hovering over the dexpot taskbar icon shows the same firefox on two desktops, with the image on the 'wrong' desktop showing the state it was before the switch.
