If you add a 2000 ms Wait action to the Trigger rule (move it up so it's before the Move to Mouse Cursor Monitor action), then it should move correctly

I will test Firefox with that option and see what I can find out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#6 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 21:08:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#6 DisplayFusion P.S. if a logfile would still be useful to you, just tell me and I'll create another one ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#5 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 21:06:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#5 DisplayFusion first: thanks for the fast replies, your effort is really amazing.

I tried that trigger, it fixes the explorer problem but not the firefox problem,
but meanwhile I figured out what causes the firefox issue:

I have my firefox set to show all windows and tabs from the last session on startup -
as soon as I change this to start with the homepage it seems to work!

I also have a workaround for still using this option: I created a second profile in firefox and
configured the desktop and taskbar-icon on my second monitor to start with this profile -
that way firefox windows will still stay on the monitor the icon is on. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#4 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 17:59:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#4 DisplayFusion Thanks! Could you try creating the Trigger rule again (like the attached screenshot), then send another debug log? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#3 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 21:37:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#3 DisplayFusion hi, i followed the steps and opened firefox on the second monitor, and as usual the window jumped back to the first.
I also opened the explorer on the first monitor, then on the second, which still worked, but when trying to open it again on the first it will keep opening on the second monitor.
the time was 22:30. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#2 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 20:53:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/open-firefox-on-same-monitor-as-taskbar/?ID=696607c9-2b16-4ccd-8689-2f99d4f87402#2 DisplayFusion Could you attach a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

I experience problems under Win10 with having programms, especially firefox open on the same monitor as the taskbar - it often seems to open on the right monitor for a second but then switches to the other one. I checked "move newly opened app window to current monitor", checked "force application to run on same monitor" in the taskbar symbol properties, and tried a trigger to open on same window as mouse cursor, but it somehow gets confused all the time.
Does anybody have similar issues or even a solution?

Cheers ]]>
