My best guess would be that this is a duplicate of 98830. However, I can't be 100% sure - someone please reopen this if you think different. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 98830 ***

Bug 98830 comment 19 point 3 gives a more thorough explanation. This bug isn't a duplicate of 98830, then. (brad, if you meant something else, please make a note. And then consider closing this bug as a duplicate of 98830 :) ). This one notices that the View Source, View Page Info and JavaScript Console Windows are positioned where they last appeared. That's just like any other top-level window. The reporter suggests they should instead be positioned relative to their browser window.

Dan, Bug 98830 comment 19 point 3 is precisely what I was trying to convey, thus it is not a duplicate of Bug 98830.

With Mozilla v1.5 running on Windows XP, I was not able to reproduce the problem with the "View Page Source" dialog. However, I was able to reproduce the problem with the other two dialog boxes mentioned in the original description. I also noticed that the "File Save" dialog showed up on the wrong monitor in version 1.6b, but that problem has been fixed in version 1.6 (currently the latest build). In the interest of completeness, I have compiled a list of which windows always show up on the primary montior, and which show up on the correct one (the one where mozilla is). All of this data comes from v 1.6 running on Windows XP. Selections from the navigator that create new windows on the primary monitor: File->New->Message File->New->Composer Page File->Send Page... File->Send Link... File->Edit Page View->Page Info Bookmark->Manage Bookmarks Tools->Form Manager->Edit Form Info Tools->Switch Profile Tools->Web Development->JavaScript Console Tools->Web Development->Java Console Tools->Web Development->DOM Inspector Tools->Web Development->JavaScript Debugger Tools->Download Manager Tools->Switch Profile

Is this still an issue with nightly builds?

I have now dual monitors and I can reproduce this, but this is how all the window programs act, for example, open up IE and view source, it will also appear on the first display, til you move it to the second and then, the next time it will appear on the same place. I dont think this is a Mozilla bug. INVALID?

In the image, a Mozilla 1.7.2 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803) browser is running on the secondary display on the left. The file menu, when selected, pops up at the left edge of the primary display on the right. No other application on the system exhibits this behavior.
