Could someone please remind me how to get my web browser (Firefox) to stay on desktop 2, rather than move to the current desktop when called by a clicked link?
Is it in the 'right-click-on-the-titlebar' menu, or in the 'Control Centre (Configure Desktop)'?
right-click -> Configure Window behaviour ->Window Specific setting-> Create an application Setting for Firefox and set Geometry,

Thanks, Andreas. That much was easy, but it asked for some settings on the Window tab which I don't understand. What do I put for 'Window class (application type)' and which option in the drop-down below that dialog should I choose? It doesn't like 'Unimportant'!
If you do it in the window manager (not the control center) using Window Menu -> Advanced -> Special Window Settings (starting from an instance of the kind of window you want to control) the window identifying criteria will be filled in with defaults for the window whose window menu you started form.
Alternatively, in the Window tab (of the Edit Window-Specific Settings dialog), there's a Detect button. Press Detect and then click on the window that is the example of the kind of window you want to configure.
In both cases, the window definition criteria are derived from the specific window. Often that's sufficient to get the right criteria for future windows. Sometimes you need to refine the criteria.

Many thanks, Randall.
