Well, it seems to be fixed now. Odd. If I may just ask a quick smaller question, ever since I moved and maximized my firefox browser to my second monitor, it always starts over there, no matter how many times I bring it back to the first one. I seem to remember CCleaner removing settings like that, is that the way to go?

Hi TGP. I branched this question into its own Discussion. Please only post one question per Discussion.

This is an easy one to correct. A browser is very smart. It will remember the exact position and size on your desktop when closed. In your case, it is as simple this:

# Use the Restore Down button of Firefox (the button between the minimize and the close button) to remove the maximize sizing of the browser
# Move the browser to the monitor of your choice
# Maximize the browser
# Click the Restore Down again
# Maximize the browser



Once you do that, the browser will now remember to open on within this monitor the next time you close it. Note: If you only do the first three steps, the browser will still open within the other monitor.

Try this.
Shut down PC.
Disconnect 2nd monitor.
Start up PC, open firefox, see if it opens on main monitor.
