User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0 Build ID: 20180728220145 Steps to reproduce: 1 - Using Nightly, I configured my desktop to use 2 screens : xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3200x720 --rotate normal --output DVI-I-1-1 --off --output VIRTUAL1 --off --output eDP1 --mode 3200x1800 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal 2 - I moved Nightly in the 2nd screen (to the right). 3 - I entered an URL in the address bar. Actual results: 4 - The suggestions of URL to complete appeared in my primary screen (on the left), in the middle on my empty desktop… Expected results: 5 - The address bar drop-down should have appeared inside the Nightly window, aligned to the address bar itself.

Context:

  • Mac 10.15.4
  • FFN: 76.0a1 (2020-04-05) (64-bit)
  • Layout: displays reversed, so primary is on my left, and I can scroll from left display to right

I would hope that this gets bumped up in priority, is it more extensive that initial description, it appears to affect many / all overlays:

  • URL suggestions
  • saved form submissions
  • context menu's (such as right clicking to move tab to it's own container)

I am not sure if it is related, but I also have another dual screen issue:

  • after restarting browser after an upgrade (Nightly), if I have two windows (not just tabs), and (extra detail), launch FF from the right display (reconfigured to be secondary), one window, will animate out to the left screen, but disappear. What actually happens is that it is rendered off the right edge of the left screen, and I have to drag it out to then expand it. If / when that fails, I have to delete the visible window, use the dock-menu to make the offending window full screen, and to then untoggle that to get back to a normal window.

I do not see this issue in the current release version of FF (75, as of April 7), so it seems to have been introduced since then.

Gabi, can you test to see if this still exists?
