Firefox used to open on my main desktop display. Now for some reason it opens on my side display which I use for another dedicated purpose, and I always have to drag it back to my desktop main screen. How can I keep it there?

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.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
