This is a dumbass question as I can't remember/seem to retrace my steps what I have done. I have 2 computers and have set dropbox to store some firefox settings and have basically forgotten what I did and I can't seem to find the alias link. One of my computers is a laptop, the other a desktop with 2 screens. I have firefox open on screen 2 on the dual setup and on the primary screen on the laptop. My problem/issue is when I've had firefox open on the laptop, the settings are stored somewhere so when I open firefox on the dual setup it opens initially on screen 1... as I say I'm being a dumbass here and can't work out how to undo the settings. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Window sizes and positions are stored in localstore.rdf in the Profile Folder.
