I have two Firefox windows open, one on my Macbook Pro and one on my external monitor. When I click a link in Obsidian, Firefox always opens it in the laptop's window. Is there a way to configure Obsidian (or maybe Firefox) so that links open in the Firefox window on my external monitor?

As soon as I posted this question, FF Support immediately showed me the same question in older posts:

1. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1278303 2. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1264371

Both have replies marked as solutions, but they don't work consistently for the OPs or for me. I've tried making sure to have opened the window on the external monitor before opening a link - that didn't work. I've tried exchanging the windows between the laptop and the monitor - the laptop's window still opens.

Those posts were 4/5 years old. Does this mean that FF now has a solution?

Thanks so much. ge
