Has anyone successfully gotten Firefox to recognize <desktop> rules for Openbox? This is driving me nuts and I don't want to use an extra application (e.g. devil's pie).
So far I've tried:
<application name="Navigator">
<desktop>2</desktop>
</application>
<application class="Gran Paradiso">
<desktop>2</desktop>
</application>
<application role="browser">
<desktop>2</desktop>
</application>
xprop reports:
WM_WINDOW_ROLE(STRING) = "browser"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Gran Paradiso"
This definitely looks like a Mozilla issue, considering that all of my other applications comply with the OB rules. I have enabled browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground in about:config, but that fixed the issue of Firefox jumping desktops when a link was clicked in an external application.
Suggestions anyone?

We're in the same boat my friend. I have tried exactly the same things that you have, but don't understand why it won't comply.
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

I had same issues with awesome. Solution to the problem was to add all aliases that firefox can have to the rules. There is firefox, gran paradiso, minefield, ... you see the point. Hope this helps.

It wants class="Firefox*", even Gran Paradiso, don't ask me why…

apaige is right, check the example on this page: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Applications
<!-- i want firefox on desktop 3 and maximized -->
<application name="Firefox*">
<desktop>3</desktop>
<maximized>yes</maximized>
</application>

#$&**$%@*!
Thank you, that worked. *sigh* I had already seen that section of the Openbox documentation, but assumed it was written before the release of Firefox 3. I'll see about adding this to the FAQ there (and definitely on our wiki).
