Firefox windows on separate X displays
Hello, I use Xfce4 DE and the Firefox web browser. One my desktop PC, I also use the "nvidia-settings" tool to use two monitors in "Separate X Screen" mode, so each monitor is treated as a different X display.
This has been a great setup over all. There is one quirk though: I find that I can only have Firefox open on one monitor or the other. I can open a new window, but it will only opened inside the same monitor. (Windows can not be dragged across screens in "Separate X Screen" mode).
I tried something like this inside the other X display:
Code:
$ firefox --display=:0.1 -no-remote
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.1".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.1".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.1".
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.1".
Registering '@mozilla.org/module-loader/python;1' (libpyloader.so)
Registering '@mozilla.org/network/protocol/about;1?what=python' (pyabout.py)
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.1".
But the little "Close Firefox" box just pops up saying that to open a new window, I must first close the existing Firefox process.
Anyone know I hack I could use here to get a two Firefox windows open on both displays simultaneously?
My system is Gentoo amd64:
Code:
