📝 Issue Description

Short Description of the Issue:
When using the "Move Tab to Next Window" extension on Windows 11 with multiple Virtual Desktops, the tab is moved to another Firefox window that exists on a different Virtual Desktop, rather than staying within the current Virtual Desktop's workspace.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Set up at least two separate Virtual Desktops in Windows 11 (e.g., one for "Home," one for "Work").
  2. Open two separate Firefox windows:
    • One window on Virtual Desktop 1.
    • Another window on Virtual Desktop 2.
  3. In the Firefox window on Virtual Desktop 1, open a tab.
  4. Use the extension's function (e.g., right-click menu or keyboard shortcut) to "Move Tab to Next Window."

Expected Behavior:

The tab should not move to a window that is on a different Virtual Desktop. It should either:

  • A. Move to the next available window on the same Virtual Desktop, OR
  • B. Fail to move and display a notification (if no other window exists on the current desktop).

Observed Behavior:

The tab moves to the Firefox window located on Virtual Desktop 2, crossing the Virtual Desktop boundary.

Your Environment:

  • Operating System: Windows 11, version 25H2, OS build: 26200.6899
  • Firefox Version: 144.0.2 (64-bit)
  • Extension Version: 1.2.0
