You're correct Pete, I forgot to add the necessary information last
night, must have been really tired. 

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, Gnome 3.12.2, Evolution 3.12.8, Firefox
33.1.1. 

Firefox is set as the default web browser in Firefox itself and in the
Gnome settings for browser.

You're also correct about Firefox opening. If I were to click on the
link at the bottom of any message in this list which would normally open
the link in workspace #2 where I have Firefox already running it would
instead open Firefox in workspace #1 where I have Evolution running. It
would also open to my 'homepage' instead of the link that is clicked on.

Is there anything else I can provide you Pete?
