Re Bug 226034; It would be nice to be able to have more control of the browser
from the command line. Along with the parameter -fullscreen it would be nice to
have the following two parameters, where more than 1 display device is connected
to a computer:
-screen n  [n is a number from 1 to number of monitors installed on pc]
automatically display the firefox browser on screen n; in fullscreen mode if the
-fullscreen parameter is also specified
  
-notoolbars
show window with no address bar

Reproducible: Didn't try




Using a desktop pc with more than one screen is very addictive. For someone
refering frequently to the internet, it would be nice to have a screen dedicated
to browsing the web. It would be even better if it could be done automatically
from the command line.

This is a fine RFE, but I have no plans to implement it any time soon.
