Well.....

I am sorry I'm not running F10 and I don't normally do non-standard
updates/upgrades.

But, FWIW, I've got an instance of F11 running with FF 3.5.4 and TBird
3.0-2.8.b4.

Tbird on DT1, FF on DT2.  Click on the link in Tbird and the link is
displayed in FF on DT2 and I'm switched to DT2 to view.  That is FF
stays on DT2 and my focus is simply switched to there.

If I have "Preferred Applications-->Internet-->Web Browser" set to FF
and I've checked "Open in new window" the link will open a new FF window
in DT1. 

Is that how you have things set up?
