Problems to Solve Welcome Guest | Login or Register

Every once in a while Firefox starts on the wrong screen, and every new window I open also starts on the wrong screen, even when I quit and restart firefox. It drives me nuts.

I try using the ultramon button that switches the maximized window to the other screen, closing, and then restarting firefox, but new instances of the window still open on the new screen.

I figure out the solution to this every once in a while and then forget and it drives me nuts, so I’m writing it down here. You have to restore firefox to a resizable window, drag it over to the other screen, and then maximize from there. The problem is firefox doesn’t remember that you switched screens when you use the ultramon function, but does remember if you click and drag (which is handled by windows) the window over.
