Status: UNCONFIRMED

I have two monitors, the left one as the main monitor with higher resolution and the viewport of the windows desktop beginning above the right one.

Now, when i move a firefox window to the right monitor and open a new window, for example with CTRL + N it seems to use the upper koordinate from the left monitor, not from the right one.

With the result, that the window moves outside the desktop wiewport on the top. The problem in Windows is, that you cant move the window anymore without having a mouse accessible title bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup 2 monitors with different top value for the desktop viewport
2. make the one with has upper top value to the main monitor (don't know exactly if really needed)
3. move a firefox window to the monitor with lower top value and open a new window
Actual Results:  
Title bar is outside the windows desktop

Expected Results:  
should be inside ;-)

There seems to an additional condition for the behaviour.

The Window must be higher than the resolution of the right monitor.

Here's another good one - I don't think it still exists on WIndows. WDYT?
