(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Yossi Oren]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

In Windows XP it is possible to place a secondary monitor to the left of the
primary monitor (multiple monitors or DualView).  The pixels on this secondary
monitor have negative addresses.  The FireFox UI elements do not show on the
secondary monitor.  Instead, they are flush left on the primary monitor.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using the control panel's display settings, enable two monitors - the primary
on the right and the secondary on the left.
2. Start Firefox and drag it to the secondary monitor
3. Try to open the "file" menu

Actual Results:  
The "file" menu opened flush left on the primary monitor

Expected Results:  
Menu should have been opened on the secondary monitor

this is a dupe, I've read a dupe of the original, but I don't have time to look
currently.

And short version is, our multimonitor support could be "much" better.
