Child windows open in fullscreen

Hello, I've used DisplayFusion to open a program in full screen on a specific monitor. Unfortunately, almost all other child windows of the program, eg. open, find, replace, also open full screen on the specified monitor. Some modal windows, eg. print, retain their previous behaviour. How can I make child windows behave as before?

Are you using a trigger to open this window? If so, can you send me over a screenshot of the trigger you have setup?

Thanks!

I exactly followed the instructions given in the DisplayFusion help ie. DisplayFusion → Help (https://www.displayfusion.com/Help/?Version=9.9.0.0) → Window Management → Launching and Positioning an Application on Startup (https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/launching-and-positioning-an-application-on-startup/?ID=a0f16c60-9c49-486f-a300-fe37589fb9d8#first) for Firefox. This uses a trigger rule and a trigger event. I have attached the Edit Function Window for the Function.

Ah okay, if you have the trigger firing on the FireFox process, it will likely be catching some of the child windows. You can try using the "Window Class" match condition, or the "Window Text" match condition in your trigger instead, which may only catch the main firefox windows.

Hope that helps!
