646555 - in a dual-display environment (Macintosh Extended Desktop) Firefox will not create a new window if the currently active window is not on the main monitor (the one with the Mac OS menu bar)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 632749

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Harris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

If the active window is COMPLETELY on the main monitor, a new window can be generated as expected; either the keyboard command or dragging to "New Window" under the File menu works; neither works if all or part of the currently active window is displayed on the secondary monitor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have currently active window on the secondary display.
2.Try to generate a new window, either with the keyboard command or from the File Menu
3.
Actual Results:  
I got no new window; absolutely nothing happens when trying to create a new window if the currently active window is on the secondary display

Expected Results:  
a new window should have been created with my homepage displayed

New windows can be created as expected if the currently active window is displayed on the main monitor (the one with the Mac OS X menu bar at the top)
