Ever since one of the recent updates, my new email notification box is showing up on wrong monitor. I have a 2 monitor setup, the notification box is now showing up on the second monitor. I have tried turning the option off and back on but makes no difference.

Try this: 

- r. click desktop > display settings

- select the monitor you would like notifications to show on

- scroll down to multiple displays > check the 'Make this my main display' box

Thanks for your help but that is not my problem, the primary display is set correctly, ONLY Thunderbird shows notifications on my 2nd monitor, other notifications go to the primary.
