Summary

I don't know if this a bug or by design, but I normally have the browser in a certain workspace. When I open a link from another browser, it opens a new window instead of going to the one already open. For my workflow it'd be beneficial if it simply opens in the existing browser.
Is this by design? Is there complete isolation between workspaces? Is there any configuration option that may change this?
Thanks in advance

Output of komorebic check

komorebic check
No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\manue

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\manue

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\manue.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

Yeah I'm using Zen Browser (Firefox based) so that must be the case. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer and for your work on Komorebi

widget.prefer_windows_on_current_virtual_desktop should land in Firefox 145 which can be set to false for the previous behavior
