Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; hu; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; hu; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4 I ma using dual view mode on my NVidia card on Windows XP. The primary screen is the monitor, the secondary is the TV. If I move firefox window to the secondary screen and maximize it, after this step I can not startup firefox anymore on the primary screen ever again, it starts up always on the secondary screen (TV). Even if I move the window back to primary screen and maximize it there and exit, it still starts up on the secondary screen. Damn annoying tiny bug, because I have to reinstall firefox to solve it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start firefox and move the program window to secondary screen (e.g. TV) and maximize the program window 2.Close the program 3.Start firefox again, it will start on the secondary screen and there is no way to make it start up on the primary screen ever again. Actual Results: Firefox will start always on the secondary screen, no matter where I move the program window. I tried to move it back to primary screen and close it there, thinking it will remember the screen number, but no, it does not. It is important, that this problem occurs only AFTER you have to maximize firefox on the secondary screen ONCE. But then it will be reproducible. Expected Results: Firefox should remember the screen number it is closed and it should start up on the same screen as it was before. I give normal ranking for this bugreport, since once you made the maximize operation, you have to reinstall firefox to start up on the primary screen.
