Glad to hear that worked for you though! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#16 Sun, 22 Feb 2026 19:01:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#16 DisplayFusion One caveat to this solution and setting, is that if you open up Firefox on a particular monitor, DF will not bring Firefox to that monitor anymore. It would be nice if this setting would only apply to Firefox tabs, and not to the program itself on first opening it. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#15 Sat, 21 Feb 2026 20:24:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#15 DisplayFusion That seems to have been the trick. Can you add that solution to some kind of knowledge base so that others can find this?

Seems like a feature every user would want. Maybe that could be setting, that in the future, is just easily clickable under Display Fusion - Settings - Window Management, or something. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#14 Thu, 19 Feb 2026 14:02:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#14 DisplayFusion On the DisplayFusion Settings > Compatibility tab, can you try adding a rule for Firefox and enable the "Disable moving new windows to current monitor" option? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#13 Thu, 19 Feb 2026 02:06:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#13 DisplayFusion Unfortunately the issue came back, same as before. If I turn off the setting we discussed, and turn on again, it makes no difference any more, browser tabs still drag to another screen and then bounce back.

I know that when I found the solution to this many months ago, I think it had something to do with making a custom change to Firefox settings within the Display Fusion software, but I just can't find that forum thread again and I can't find a setting like that. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#12 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:42:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#12 DisplayFusion Strange, sounds good. Thanks for the update! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#11 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 05:30:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#11 DisplayFusion So after disabling "Move newly opened application windows to the current monitor", and then re-enabling it, the desired behaviour seems to be working now. Browser tabs can be moved to another monitor and they stay there.

There was never an issue with where the mouse cursor was dropped off. This is also something that I'm certain I had disabled and enabled previously too, but for some reason now the issue seems resolved. Not sure if it was a software glitch, a driver incompatibilty, or what. I'll see if things keep working as desired for the next few weeks. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#10 Mon, 09 Feb 2026 19:51:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#10 DisplayFusion Ok, that's interesting! I think I can reproduce this here now if I drag the tab to another monitor but move my mouse back to the original monitor before the new window opens with the tab in it. Does that seem to be the case on your machine as well? i.e. if you drag it to the other monitor and make sure to leave the mouse on that monitor until after it opens, does it stay on the one you dragged it to? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#9 Sun, 08 Feb 2026 20:38:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#9 DisplayFusion Yes, that setting does stop the undesirable browser tab behavior. However, it also turns off a feature that generally is nice, and is one of the reasons I'm using Display Fusion. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#8 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:46:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#8 DisplayFusion If you disable the "Move newly opened windows to current monitor" option on the DisplayFusion Settings > Window Management tab, does that make any difference at all? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#7 Wed, 14 Jan 2026 03:20:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#7 DisplayFusion Yes either from 3 to 1 or 1 to 3.

It's frustrating that I know the solution is on this forum or reddit somewhere, but I can't figure out what search words will bring it out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#2 Mon, 29 Dec 2025 20:45:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/drag-a-tab-from-firefox-to-another-monitor-and-it-bounces-back-by-default/?ID=019b61d0-865d-72c8-adeb-dda1e169583c#2 DisplayFusion I can't seem to reproduce this issue here.

I have tried finding the answer myself, and embarassingly I did find it months ago, but now I can't find it again after a windows reinstall. What was the trick for that again? ]]>
