701471 - Firefox starts on non-existent secondary monitor

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Sutcliffe]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0
Build ID: 20111104165243

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox was running on my secondary monitor.  I then disabled my secondary monitor and logged off.

I then logged in and started Firefox again.


Actual results:

Firefox started off screen (i.e. started where the secondary monitor used to be).  I had no way of bringing Firefox back to the primary monitor unless I maximized Firefox (which then maximized to the primary monitor).


Expected results:

Firefox should have detected that it was being displayed out side of the virtual desktop dimensions and re-positioned itself based on the primary monitor.

Chris do this still reproduce when using current version?

Comment 2

[Chris Sutcliffe]

I'm no longer able to recreate this issue.  When I disable the second monitor Firefox is now automatically positioned on the primary monitor.  I've changed this to "RESOLVED" and "WORKSFORME" (since none of the other items in the drop down seemed appropriate).

Thanks!

Chris
