It's trivial, but Fireboard launches across both monitors on a dual screen set 
up. Can easily be rectified by manually moving and and shrinking Firtebird, 
but is a real PITA when you only have one monitor on at the time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firebird (new installation)
2. Firebird goes across both monitors.
3.



Expected Results:  
Firebird should have maximised only on the screen on which it was launched.

i realisaed what had happened straight away, but I'm concerned that novices 
would wonder where in hell their close, maximise and minimise buttons had 
gone. ;-)
Bug 220869

Platform Windows XP
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Firefox launches across both monitors on a dual screen set up.

This bug is not re-applicable in firefox 0.8, but existed on fireboard 0.7.

Reproducible: Always(Fireboard 0.7)
Repro Steps:
1). Install Firebird 0.7.
2). Set up the computer configuration on the dual screen to open up browser
screen on one screen.
3). Launch Firebird.

Actual Result: Firebird 0.7 opens up both the screens.
Expected Result: Firebird should have opened on one screen as per the configuration.

Follow Up Tests:
1) Open firebird 0.7 on a dual screen computer with windows XP platform.
Result: Firebird launches on both the screens and not on one screen.
2).Open firebird 0.7 on a tripe screen computer with windows xp platform.
Result: Firebird launches on all three screena and not on one screen.
3). Install firefox 0.8 and then try opening it on Windows XP.
Result: Firefox opens up one one screen.
4). Install Firefox on Linux and try opening it.
Result: Firefox opens up on one screen.
5). Open up Internet Explorer on the dual screen in windows XP.
Result: Internet Explorer opens up on once screen.
6). Open up Opera on the dual screen with Windows XP as platform.
Result: Opera opens up perfectly on one screen.

Importance:
This bug was important since covering both the screen would divide the screen
into two halves. It would have interfered in 

the work being done. On launching Firebird everytime we would have to resize the
screen so that it fits in one screen. In the new edition of Mozilla firefox 0.8
the bug does not exist.
