The nsCocoaWindow.mm part makes sense to me (and would get my r+). The nsXULWindow.cpp part should probably be reviewed by [e-mail]. Has somebody tested that that part on non-Mac platforms?

The nsXULWindow.cpp change will regress bug 30116 on Windows.

Comment 3

[Masatoshi Kimura [:emk]]

Note for anyone interested in this bug:
The nsXULWindow.cpp change has been landed as a part of bug 1005619 with a few modifications to prevent bug 30116 from regress.
Now all you have to do is implementing nsIWidget::GetRestoredBounds() on Mac OS X. Unfortunately I don't know how to implement it.

Mac 10.11, Nightly 49.0a1, 20160504043118

If you have Preference | General | When Nightly starts: set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"  then Nightly opens on the correct screen as expected.  However, if you have that same preference set to either of the other two options, "Show my home page" or " Show a blank page", then Nightly opens in its default location. Note: If your home page is set to about:home, clicking Restore Previous Session will send browser window to the correct screen/monitor.
