Warm breezes, sunshine, and random thoughts
Firefox
If I have the focused Firefox window on my secondary monitor, I can’t open a new window. I also can’t do anything that would normally result in a new window, such as “View Source” or see “HTTP Live Headers” or open Firebug in a new window.
I have to drag the window over to my primary monitor, get the new window launched, then drag the other window back over to the second monitor.
Firefox, I love ya, but you gotta do windows better!

With the new major release dev cycle, i’m pretty sure this has been cleared up with Firefox 7:

I like Firefox too and in windows xp its seems to work very well.
I`m sorry you have this problem. Hopefully they will fix this bug.
Just like Sonja, I love Firefox over the other browsers choices, but I do get a little crazy over 1 little bug… when click on a link to open a URL in a new tab, if that URL no longer exists my whole browser freezes up momentarily, even if I try to close the tab. However, the benefits of Firebox outweigh this minor annoyance that I patiently await to see fixed in one of the not too distant future releases.
I upgraded one of my Firefox installations to the 9.0 beta release. It can now open new windows on my secondary monitor (yay!) — but there’s another bug that is present in all of my Firefox versions: I can’t use the image uploader in WordPress to upload images. I have to use Safari or Opera or some other browser to upload images, because Firefox crashes on that. Regardless of whether I’m using their fancy-schmancy new Flash uploader or the old-style browser uploader.
A little late to the party!
I solved this by opening an new tab in the secondary monitor and dragging it to the primary monitor. Still a pain in the a**.
