Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2

On a Mac with multiple displays (including laptops with attached external monitor), address-bar drop-down renders on primary display always, regardless of where the Firefox window is.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
*This bug is reproducible only on machines with multiple displays*

1.Open Firefox, move the window to your secondary display (i.e., the one without the menu bar)
2.Begin typing a new address that would invoke the address bar drop-down
3.Watch where the drop-down appears
Actual Results:  
The drop-down renders on the primary display, but is otherwise functional.

Expected Results:  
The drop-down appears underneath the address bar on the secondary display.

Hardware:
MacBook Pro 2.33GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Mac OS 10.4.8, 1440x900
Secondary display: Acer AL2216W, 1680x1050

A bit more playing around shows that *all* drop-downs will render on the wrong display. This includes address bar drop-down and search bar drop-downs.
