Before installing RC and RC2, firefox remembered which screen it was last displayed on, when it was closed down, and subsequently restarted (in my case, the left hand monitor of 3 monitors).  Therefore when I opened firefox, it always appeared on the screen I wanted it on.

Since RC and RC2, firefox always opens on my centre monitor, and I have to move it across to the left monitor every time.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open firefox
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Appeared on centre monitor, even though it was last closed when it was on the left monitor.

Expected Results:  
Appear on the same screen it was last closed on, as it used to before RC.
I can confirm this bug on Windows Vista Business edition.  
I had separate Firefox windows on two monitors and both opened on the primary monitor upon a restart of Firefox.
