I am having difficulty with a new application. I had been running my system with two monitors. The second one is running in extended mode. The other day I added a third monitor that runs in a mirror mode of monitor one. I am using a Mad Katz adapter to accomplish this.

It works great until I bring up Firefox. When I open Firefox it doesn’t recognize Firefox on the mirrored screen.

For example if I am on Microsoft word and open Firefox the mirrored screen doesn’t show Firefox.

I tried Internet Explorer and it works perfectly.

Can you help me? I am using Firefox as my preferred browser and want to stay with it, but I need the mirrored capability to show Firefox.

I am using Windows 5.1 XP3

Thank you for any help you can provide.
