Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: PopupNotifications and Notification Bars, defect)

Description

Attachment: screenshot

Build ID: 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101213 Firefox/4.0b8pre

Prerequisites: 
Best to have dual monitors to actually see this right. 
Clean profile. 
One firefox profile opened with one monitor, the other on the next monitor. 


Steps: 

1. Visit http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/litmus-data/raw-file/tip/firefox/geolocation/wifi.html in second firefox profile (monitor 2) 
2. Inspect doorhanger notification 
3. Go into fullscreen mode 
4. Do not click anywhere, to keep doorhanger active 

Behavior with dual monitors: 

You can see in the screenshot that the notification changes position and jumps 
over to monitor no.1 

Behavior with single monitor: 

Doorhanger notification keeps it's initial position when going on fullscreen mode. It would be nice to establish some kind of default moving behavior when 
having interactions like this. 

This is kind of an exhaustive test, having dual monitors, still the general behavior of doorhanger positioning is ambiguous for me at the moment.

This sounds like it may be similar to bug 616607, which is supposed to be fixed by bug 616502. Maybe we can check to see if this is a still a problem after those are fixed.

With STR from comment 0 and navigating to http://forecast.io on Firefox 29 beta 3 (Build ID: 20140327113732), the doorhanger remains on the monitor no. 2, but it's displayed as in screenshot2. Although, if I refresh the page while in fullscreen, the doorhanger changes position and jumps over to monitor no.1 as per actual result from comment 0. This is also reproducible with the Plugin notification doorhanger if a plugin is set to Ask to Activate (eg: Flash).
Should I file another bug for the first issue, when the doorhanger is cut?
