I have 2 monitors with my desktop. No matter what I do, I cannot get Firefox to open on my main (No. 1) monitor. It always defaults to Monitor No. 2. This is frustrating particularly when I log in remotely and am working at the remote site with just one monitor, I cannot use Firefox because when I open it it goes to the secondary monitor and I can't retrieve it to move it to No. 1.

Thank you.

If Firefox is maximized then make the window smaller and drag that window over to the correct monitor and close Firefox to save that setting.
After restarting you can maximize again.
