Won't Open Windows in Multiple Monitor Environment

I have a 6-Core Mac Pro and have three DVI monitors hooked up to it. If I have the front-most Firefox window on the main screen, everything works fine. If I drag it to a side monitor (Monitor 2 on left, monitor 3 on right), then try to open a new window (from the menu or by dragging a tab to another monitor), it won't work. If I try it enough times, Firefox starts acting strange and I have to quit and restart Firefox.

I am using Mac OS 10.6.8 and Firefox 7.0.

Still same issues - Now using Firefox 7.0.1 and Mac OS 10.7.2. Windows show up on the menu bar under "Windows", but when I select a particular window, it won't appear - same with the Downloads window.

Anyone else have this problem - or anyone have a solution?

Does it work with hardware acceleration disabled?

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Hardware acceleration doesn't seem to work very well with multiple monitors. I've seen issues reported on Windows as well with such a setup and on Mac it seems to prevent Firefox windows from opening on the second (i.e. not first) monitor.

Firefox 7.0.1 is doing it again - when using left monitor, it won't open new windows or downloads window. Hardware acceleration is still off.  :(

I looked at bug fixes for 8.0, but it doesn't say anything about fixing this. I'm about to upgrade it to see if this fixes it (crossing fingers).
