From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it possible to have Firefox reopen windows in the Workspaces they were previously in? (lemmy.ml)

I've tried to search for this but all of the results are several years old and state that you can't but it would be possible with future development. Does any one know if this is possible in 2023?

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for reference. Additionally I'm fairly new to running Linux as a desktop OS (I've a little experience working with Linux servers) so any help would be appreciated.

Ubuntu hasn't used unity for years and years. It's gnome with some extensions now.

There is an extension to move apps to a given workspace, but a static one. Not the "last used".

Ah ok, I never kept up with ubuntu. I'm using the Mate desktop which is based off of Gnome, seems like there should still be a method of remembering where the windows were located? On my system I have eight firefox windows open across two monitors and three different desktops, and it puts all of them back in the right place every time I restart. But yeah, the exact HOW of setting it up I don't remember.
