Details
The FELT launcher always opens on the primary display (laptop screen) on macOS, regardless of which display currently has focus or where the launcher was last closed. After authentication, the actual Firefox Enterprise browser window opens on the focused display or last-used location.
STR:
- Use an external monitor with a mac laptop.
- Give the external monitor focus.
- Launch Firefox Enterprise from the Dock in the focused window
Result:
The FELT launcher opens on the laptop (primary) display.
Expected Result:
The launcher opens on the currently-focused display, or on the location where it was last closed.
Notes:
AFAIK, on macOS, applications restore windows in the last-used display or open new windows on the "active display".

This sounds similar to bug 1993500 (and its related bugs, the root bug of which is bug 1423768), but those deal with active workspaces as opposed to monitors. This bug is also talking about the launch behavior and not a restored session, which is another difference.

Hello,
We were talking about a similar behavior for this on Linux, where the FELT window does not remember the last known location on the screen so that it can open in the same spot when triggering a new session. It is always displayed on the left side, stuck to the Ubuntu menu bar, regardless of the place the user dragged it to in their previous session.
Also, the question extends to remembering the browser size from one session to another (full screen vs custom size).
Are these related to this issue, and can we track here, or should we log different issues for these specific behaviors?
Thank you.

Just noting that I also see this behavior on Nightly channel.
