Hmm. 

When I started this thread on January 11 I had Firefox 10.0.2 on the
Fedora laptop. Claws Mail would open the link in a new tab, but not
bring up the window. 

Today on my desktop computer with Lucid and Firefox 10.0.2, Sylpheed
3.0.2 does open the tab and bring up the Firefox window.

This suggests that it is not in Firefox.

However, Fedora and Ubuntu are quite different. Perhaps there are
system settings somewhere that are causing the problem, although I
don't have a clue where to start looking.

Are there other users here with Fedora? Does clicking on a link bring
up the Firefox window as well as loading the tab? How about users of
other distros?
