Firefox always shows on a wrong monitor

[Dmitry Tantsur]

I have 2 monitors: the first (main) is on the _right_ and the second is no the left. I used NVidia's TwinView to configure them. Many gnome appliactions used to start on a wrong (the second which is no the left) monitor. after I moved them they remembered the correct location.

When NOT maximized Firefox also starts on a correct monitor, BUT! When it starts maximized it is always on the left, no matter what.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
