Would like Firefox to open links from Thunderbird in main window, not the other window on my secondary monitor.

more options

I am running Firefox 69.0b2 (64-bit) on Mac OS 10.13.6 (17G7024) High Sierra. It is run on my laptop. I have an external monitor and I have dragged a Firefox window over to that external monitor.

When I click on a link in Thunderbird, the link opens up in the secondary window, not the primary window on my laptop where I have most of my pages open in.

What I would like to happen is to have the links open in the primary window.

Should I file a bug report and ask Mozilla to add a feature that allows the user to right click on a window and make that window the primary window? This would be helpful to me.

Is there a way around this? Is there anything I can do about it? Or should I file a new bug report as a feature request?

I see someone else has asked a similar question but their question is the opposite as in they want to have the links opened in the secondary window: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1252876

Thanks, Dean

선택된 해결법

I didn't find a way to set a preferred window to open links in Firefox. You could request this feature for future releases.

If there're 2 or more Firefox windows open, the last one that had focus will open new links from other apps.

A workaround could be to leave a Firefox window open on your primary monitor, and click on it before checking you emails. This way, any click on a link in Thunderbird would be open on that Firefox window.

Another solution could be setting "firefox --new-instance" as the command to open links from apps. This starts a whole new Firefox instance, probably on the same monitor you're on. Just remember to close it after reading to avoid using too much memory with many instances.

And despite the other person's question being marked as solved, their problem is not solved.
