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.)
How old is your system? ;-) If you call /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/mozilla-xremote-client it must be from stone age or so. But anyway it's a serious question.

Fair question.... ASUS mbd less than 6 mos old running AMD 5000+ Dual 32/64 on 10.3 with 2.5 TB of drives on 9 disk drives using a combo of software and hardware RAID on SATA drives. I only have 4G of ram though. I use it as a testbed by running VMWare and VirtualBox, usually simultaneously for comparison purposes and on the VM's, occasionally run XP, but usually just Alpha/Beta Suse and other Distros, again for comparison purposes. It is not unusual to have 2 or 3 VM's plus the host 10.3 running with 'my music' (audacious) keeping me sane in the background :) This problem never appeared before, even in my older machines (I have 4 set up) or in my friends, until I installed KMail. So, I have to assume something in KMail does something to FFox that TBird doesn't do that makes it misbehave. I have used SuSE as my preferred distro since 9.3, so I am semi-new at SuSE, coming from Red-Hat previously. Before my stroke, I taught college level Linux courses and OS theory. The stroke really slowed me down and has given the mental ability of a grade-schooler except I still remember a fair amount about Linux/SuSE, but have trouble with short-term memory/learning new stuff. So troubleshooting stuff like this takes eons compared to before, but with your (all of you) help, it gets done, and I thank you.
