1334757 2013-03-30 03:17:00 I've got my second monitor connected to my Windows 8 PC, works fine other than:

When I launch Firefox, it opens on the second monitor, I got to drag it to my main screen. How do I make it to open FF on my main monitor?

1334759 2013-03-30 07:29:00 Do you have the latest FF ?

After doing a bit of reading it was a known bug in Firefox ( for quite some time) when using dual monitors, was "meant" to be fixed, BUT this was with W7, so it may still be a bug in FF & W8

Several other forums suggest :


You may need to disable hardware acceleration to make Firefox work properly with a multiple monitor setup.

1334760 2013-03-30 07:57:00 I know W7 remembers the last screen it opens and apparently, W8 doesn't.

I'm using FF 19.0.2

1334761 2013-03-31 01:09:00 What happens if you use IE 10 which comes installed as default, not the Start Screen App version, but the Normal desktop version ? does it remember where you put it.

This is to see if Its FF or W8 causing the problem.

1334762 2013-03-31 01:31:00 I don't know what have I done, FF just opens on my main screen late last night. :)

I had been fiddling with it the whole day yesterday morning and afternoon couldn't get it to work the way I want it but when I turned ON the machine late last night, it just works! Seriously, I don't know what have I done! LOL
