I have dual monitors, not xinerama or twinview but separate X screens :0.0 and :0.1.
If I open a firefox instance on one monitor, I can never start another instance on the other monitor...they accumulate on the first monitor.
Even if I do:

$ DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox
$ DISPLAY=:0.1 firefox

FF still only opens in :0.0. Of course this can be reversed...
Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open firefox on DISPLAY=:0.0
2.try to open another firefox on DISPLAY=:0.1
3.Pray to the gods you get a FF instance on both screens

Actual Results:
FF instances always open on the initial screen used.

Expected Results:
I would expect a FF instance on each screen.
