Hi there. Was just wondering if it's possible to open different mozilla/safari windows in different desktops in os x Lion. If I'm in desktop 2 and click on the browser, it brings me back to desktop 1 and opens the page I had open in the first place. I have gone into options in desktop 1 and ticked the "Apply to this desktop" but it still brings me back to the original one I had open. Thanks :)

Open a new browser window and drag it to the other desktop.

I saw a demonstration of Mission Control at an Apple Store. It's too bad you can't drag from Desktop 1 to Desktop 2 for example. But, you can drag a window from the current / active Desktop to a brand new one by dragging over to the upper right corner.

Bring up Mission Control, press and hold the Option key and drag the application you want to move to the small desktop you want it in at the top of the screen.
