Glad to hear it Justin!

@Simon: It turned out to be a weird issue when certain Flash content is being shown in the browser, so it might have only shown up when you were on certain web pages.


Huh.. that's an awkward bug. Glad you were able to track that down. Any details on what type of Flash content? ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#23 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:36:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#23 DisplayFusion Glad to hear it Justin!

Finally looked to see if there was a solution today and TaDa, someone else had the same issue and it's just been resolved!

I'll reply if I have any issues down the road.

I did end up installing DF on my laptop which is setup with 2 monitors and I haven't had any issues with Firefox yet. I've had DF installed on my desktop for a long time, so maybe somewhere along the way some got slightly corrupted?

Anyway, looks good. Thanks for the awesome product :) ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#20 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 18:41:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#20 DisplayFusion Just a follow-up to let you know that DisplayFusion 4.2 Beta 5 is now available, and the issue with Firefox moving back to it's original location on Ctrl + Win + X should now be fixed up :)

Would you still be able to try a clean Firefox Profile and let me know how it goes? ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#18 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:19:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#18 DisplayFusion I'm up to date on the beta channel, sitting at version 15.0 right now.

I think I know why I said it seems slower. When Firefox is maximized, it won't change windows until the Win + X keys are released (Ctrl can still be pressed). When minimized or using any other programs, the window switches when all 3 keys are pressed down. I don't want to get to off topic, but is this new? ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#17 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 19:09:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#17 DisplayFusion It was a similar issue, but related to Firefox 14 when certain pages with Flash content were loaded. Are you on Firefox 14? ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#16 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:23:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#16 DisplayFusion I just installed 4.1.0 b11 which was said to have "Fix: Resolved a maximized Firefox window movement issue". I'm not sure if that was targeted at the issue I've been having or another issue. Either way, I'm still experiencing my issue.

I noticed that maximized windows move a lot slower than non-maximized windows - that is to say when they move at all.

I've been busy with other stuff and I do still need to try with a fresh firefox profile to see if that resolves anything. ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#15 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 17:47:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#15 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks! Just let me know how it works out when you get a chance to try that stuff out. ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#14 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 05:24:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#14 DisplayFusion I'm really not sure at this point. I've tried disabling all extensions/plugins but the problem still persists to some point.

I have a couple things I'd like to try when I get the time..
  • Try installing display fusion on my laptop and hooking it up to my monitor
  • Try a new Firefox profile

I installed Download Status Bar, Adblock Plus, and Flash, and after the first restart of Firefox I could actually get the issue to occur, but I haven't been able to make it happen since. I'll keep testing to see what I can find out and I'll keep you posted. If you find a way to reproduce it consistently, please let me know :) ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#11 Tue, 22 May 2012 19:58:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#11 DisplayFusion So I disabled all but to of my Firefox Addons (except Adblock Plus and Download Statusbar) and plugins (except Flash) yesterday. I just tried to move Firefox again and it was acting up again.

I attached the log file again, I believe this was the first key press:

We'll look into it further and I'll let you know as soon as we have some news. If you do have a chance to try stock Firefox without any add-ons, please let me know how it goes.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#9 Thu, 10 May 2012 16:49:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#9 DisplayFusion I've attached another log file. I believe the issue occurred around 2012/05/10 08:36:44.72. I've also attached the information in the Troubleshooting tab, I had to trim out some information about Task Manager because it was over 10MB. Hopefully this will give some more insight as to what's going on.

I do have a number of Firefox Addons, hopefully they're not interfering with DF. I can try disabling them and browsing around for a bit and see if I can still replicate this issue. ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#8 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:57:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#8 DisplayFusion Ok, sounds good Simon, thanks! ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#7 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:19:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#7 DisplayFusion

When you run into the issue again, could you try moving it by middle-clicking the titlebar instead? Just curious to see if that works when the HotKey doesn't.


Middle clicking the titlebar opens a new tab with Firefox 4+. When I'm having the issue, I can middle click the Minimize, Maximize/Restore, Close buttons and it works fine.

I've set Display Fusion to log "All Lines" and I'll try and capture it next time it acts up. ]]> RE: Firefox - Switching Monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#6 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:12:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/firefox-switching-monitors/?ID=bef36620-040f-4014-b0c5-95dea9b77673#6 DisplayFusion Still no luck reproducing it over here :(

I've had this small issue with Firefox & Display Fusion for a while now (year+ maybe?)

The problem
Sometimes when I use the shortcut to keys (CTRL+WIN+X) to move Firefox to the next monitor, instead of moving it sort of jumps a little bit but ends up back where it started. When this happens I have to try several times until it eventually switches monitors. Firefox is the only program I've had this issue with. I believe this issue started with Firefox 4 (tabs on the top). It's really unpredictable and hard to reproduce, but I think I've managed to capture it in my "detailed log" that is attached. I'll try and dig through it to find any suspicious logs.

It's not a huge bug/issue by any means, but who knows maybe fixing this will fix something else?

Thanks,
Simon ]]>
