Bug Description
Do the following things:
1) Have some Firefox windows open on workspace 1
2) Make sure no firefox windows are open on workspace 2, and the firefox window
in workspace 1 is the last firefox window touched.
2) Click a https-link in Thunderbird on workspace 2.
3) Wait till the page is shown.
Buggy behaviour: A certificate question will be on workspace 1. It took me a
while to figure that one out!
Expected behaviour: A certificate question is shown on workspace 2, where the
new firefox window with the soon-to-be-shown content is.

With firefox 1.0.2, when running a second firefox command, while there is an
instance displaying a browser window in a different workspace, firefox display
any certificate confirmation dialog on top of the previously existing browser
window.
With deerpark, a window is not even opened in the current workspace, instead a
new tab is created in the existing window.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start firefox 1.0.2 (see build identifier): "firefox" in the shell.
2. go to another workspace
3. open a url to a website whose certificate requires some sort of confirmation
(obsolete certificate, domain name mismatch, whatever), the provided URL work as
of today, but that it may get fixed. "firefox http://
the shell.
Actual Results:
The second firefox command causes the already running instance to display a new
browser window in the current workspace, but the certificate confirmation dialog
appears on top the previous window, in another workspace.
Expected Results:
The certificate confirmation dialog should appear on top of the newly created
window, which is the one the user is currently looking at.
Mozilla daily: "Mozilla 1.8b2 build 2005070205" produces the expected behaviour.
Firefox daily: The daily firefox "Mozilla Firefox 1.0+" (sorry, but that's the
output of firefox --version, the date is 2005-07-12) behaves still differently.
The second firefox command opens the specified url in the already existing
window, in a different workspace, producing no user-observable result at all in
the current workspace.
I'm not sure if I should file the behaviour of the current deerpark as another bug.
