Binary package hint: firefox-granparadiso

I have FF3 set as my preferred Web browser using Custom and 'firefox-granparadiso -remote "openurl(%s,new-tab)"' as command line.

I always have my web browser open in the same workspace (metacity) and I expect it to always be on that workspace unless I move it myself. That worked in previous FF.

FF3 (firefox-granparadiso) changed that. Each time something wants to open a link in the preferred web browser (ex liferea), FF3 changes workspace and raises on the current workspace (over the caller). That's annoying and unwanted.
I don't know if it's a bug or a new feature but in the later case, I can't find a way to deactivate it.
