WHY does Firefox ALWAYS go to an invisible screen on my PC (the HDMI part I am not usually using)?

I have my PC connected by DVi cable to a 3D Monitor. I have my PC running via DVi cable. 120Hz. I am using my PC in DVi mode for almost everything. BUT When I start Firefox, it is the ONLY Browser than jumps to my (`invisible`) 60Hz HDMI (for my Amplifier SOUND connection) cable to the non-used part of my PC Monitor.

I dont want it to do that.

How in hell do I prevent firefox starting up on a screen I do not use? 

AND WHEN I GO TO HDMI (using Cable~Select) the freaking Firefox page is not there.

It vanishes? when I switch to that screen. But if I wait a few moments; the screen twitches, and one of the Firefox pages opens on DVi part of my Monitor. wtf.
