That is correct, TBird has never moved the FF application to another window when *any* other application opens a window IF FF is already running in another window already....at least on my (and her) system(s).
I wonder if this has to do, somehow, with the precise invocation KMail is using to hand off a URL to Firefox? According to the current configuration of my KDE file associations, for the MIME type text/html, this action is performed:
/opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox "openURL(%u)"
I have never experienced the problem that Richard C. reports. (I have Firefox configured to open remotely dispatched URLs of this sort in a new tab in the current / most recently active window.)

I have always just invoked FFox using whatever defaults were set in the RPM that installed it. Same with TBird and KMail. As I reported a few minutes ago due to a suggestion received, by setting 'special applications' settings in FFox window itself, I can force the issue. Of course, it means FFox will always open in (in my case) desktop 4, but that is desired in my case. It might not be optimal for someone wanting FFox to open in 'any ole window' but as I leave it open 24x7 unless there is a power failure or I have a heart attack and have to leave with return uncertain :), having the browser open in a fixed location or having it always in a specific desktop is fine by me. It didn't make the problem disappear, it made the symptom disappear.
