Could you explain where and how you call the script? In Intrepid System>Preferences>Prefered Applications I can choose different options for firefox. I selected custom and pointed to a script containing the code you suggest... sadly it does not work... any suggestions? hi, this is great. at least it sounds like what I was looking for for quite a while.

In Intrepid System>Preferences>Prefered Applications I can choose different options for firefox.

I selected custom and pointed to a script containing the code you suggest… sadly it does not work… any suggestions?

However, what I run into is that if you have multiple FF windows open, it opens links in the *newest* window. I want it to open links in the FF window in the same virtual desktop as the app with the clicked link (follow that?). I can't imagine there's a simple way of accomplishing this as it would require FF to know what virtual desktop it was being asked to open a link from. Its such a tiny annoyance I'm not too worried about it and should probably just use multiple profiles to accomplish a sensible solution. Great hint!
