Keeping the browser in one Workspace
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2023 6:03 pm
I like to have several separate workspaces, one for emails (Thunderbird), one for browser (Firefox or Chrome), one for file manager (Thunar), one for Office apps (LibreOffice) rtc, etc. So Thunderbird and Firefox start off in separate Workspaces, but if I click on a web link in an email message in Thunderbird, the link gets opened in Firefox which now appears in the same workspace as Thunderbird. Is there any way to prevent this happening, and keep the browser in its own workspace?
