dual monitor, launch program specific display


Hello,

I have dual monitors and would like to launch Firefox and would like to make sure it gets loaded to the correct display. Right now it seems to do it at random. I'm running the following in a script file:

exec /usr/bin/firefox file:///pathtofile

Can I add a display command in this line to make sure it goes to 0.1 and not 0.0.

Thanks.
