Steps to reproduce:

I opened address book. Prior to 102 it used to open as a separate window and could be dragged to my 2nd monitor. Now that is no longer possible.

Actual results:

It opens as a new tab. If I click open as New Window I can drag that to another screen, but unlike prior version TBird will not remember that. Every time I open the address book I have to manually drag it to another screen. This is a waste of time.

Expected results:

As in version prior to 102, once I put that address book on screen 2, every time I open it, TBird should remember to open it on screen 2.

I'm not sure this is planned.
I couldn't find a matching bug report.

Thank you Wayne. It appears as though you have posted it to the bug list. I hope others agree and choose to implement. This was a nice feature of the prior address book and is a pity to lose.
