Firefox on two screens (dual monitor setup)


I recently bought a new monitor and set up two screens in a "non-twinview" setup. I can open program A on the left screen and program B on the right screen, they show up on the apropriate screens. But firefox will no do this. If I open firefox on the left screen, it opens. Then if I try to open another firefox on the right screen, it would open on the left screen. The same goes for the right screen... if I open firefox on it, it opens... then try to open firefox on the left screen, it would open on the right screen. I hope this makes sense...

I'm thinking it's a setting I have set somewhere... maybe?

Thanks
Brandon

No,that's the way firefox is. You can only have one instance of it open. I have a dual monitor setup similiar to yours (No twin-view, no xinereama), and if I have firefox open on screen 1, it will not let me open it on again on screen 2.

Thanks Croaker. I hope they fix it in later releases; I would find that very nice to use.
