firefox opens in 8th tag by default #154

I believe it's because of this: https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/blob/c968fd9aae7c18e61428bcab0f09798c2f9bdfb5/config.def.h#L417 After searching for a bit I found that after changing 1 << 7 to 0, it opens in the current tag. Why is it like this by default?

It's just an example rule that comes with a bare 6.2 dwm:

I see. It actually works as I expect it to in arch but for some reason the issue arises in void linux.

Yes this is a known issue. I don't know why exactly, but the class hint for firefox seems to depend on the distribution or on the version. It is either "firefox" or "Firefox".

Oh wow. I didn't know that. I guess the issue is with firefox itself then and not dwm. Thanks.
