This is an updated Fedora 23 beta/64 bit box.
After doing the usual changes to Firefox 41 about:config:
browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground true browser.tabs.loadInBackground true browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction 3 browser.link.open_newwindow 3
It still "steals" the Thunderbird screen. Very annoying to click on a link and suddenly be confronted with a different screen. Does anyone know what I can do to change this.
Other than that I /have configured the XFCE spin to look the way I want it as usual and things "just work." /

Did those changes work before? I expect that's a function of the window manager, not firefox. I use gnome shell and when I click on a link, it even switches desktops to the one where I keep the firefox windows.

Yes, there's also a box in XFCE settings that needs to be checked and I always do that.
Again from my notes:
"To prevent Firefox from stealing Thunderbird focus when cllicking on a link in an e-mail:
XFCE Settings Window Manager Tweaks Focus Honor standard ICCCM focus hint Leave this checked. Then check "Do nothing"
Stops Firefox from taking the Thunderbird window when a link is clicked on."
These settings usually work, changes I make routinely, and they work in F22.
I just thought I would mention it since it appears to be a new problem,
Thanks for responding,
