I'm using 2 profiles of firefox. 1 is my private and second is my work profile. I always run my private profile on first virtual desktop and the work one on second virtual desktop.

When I'm on second desktop and I click a link from outside of firefox, let's say for e.q, from chat app, it opening on firefox which is on first desktop. It should respect virtual desktops and open only in firefox which is in the same virtual desktop. (if there is no firefox open on this virtual desktop, it should open new window, not open link on the other virtual desktop)

Windows 10 Pro, newest version

Is there firefox support from Europe? Or better from Poland ?

Hi Barley194, I'm very sorry about that. The first reply was a spammer. I've deactivated his forum account.

When you talk about virtual desktops, are you referring to virtual machines?

No. Virtual desktops. It showing up when you press WIN + Tab and then at the top create new Desktop
