Open Firefox on 2 monitors at default

I have a situation where i have 2 monitors above each other and at start of firefox, firefox needs to open full-screen from the top monitor to the bottom monitor. The situation is in a restaurant and we need to see the tickets coming in from the top monitor going down to the second. It used to work with Ultramon and a script, but i think due to an update this script does not work anymore.

Can anyone help me?

create a shortcut for firefox with those parameters: firefox.exe -no-remote -height 2105 -width 1080 -new-window about:home

when on -height, put your total monitors high, and if you're on windows operating system, subtract the taskbar height (usually 55)

In example, if both monitors are on 1920x1080 resolution (width=1920,height=1080) the width should stay 1920 (because its configurated as top-bottom monitors) and height should be 1080*2-55, so 2105. if firefox shows only on the bottom monitor, drag the window to the top monitor and maximaze the window and close firefox, opening should open fine next times.

Good luck
