Firefox windows open on the wrong monitor after boot/restarting windows

Firefox is set to restore the session on launch, and that used to work flawlessly. I have two monitors and a couple weeks ago I installed Windows 11, after that Firefox still worked properly. But since I've had issues with the DisplayPort connection for the primary monitor being unstable, this weekend I swapped it to HDMI, reset the primary/secondary monitor settings in WIndows accordingly, and now Firefox won't open its windows on the primary monitor on first launch after windows loads.

I've got three window at the moment, with multiple open tabs in each. Two windows are supposed to on the primary monitor, and one on the secondary, but now Firefox will send all three windows to the secondary monitor. So I move the two windows to the primary monitor, exit Firefox gracefully, give it a moment to shut down properly, restart Firefox, and all the windows are where I left them.

Then when I restart the computer, Firefox shoves all the windows onto the seconday monitor again.

The primary monitor always come on first, and I alway wait to login to windows till both monitors are awake, so it's not like the one monitor is missing. I also have MonitorKeeper (https://github.com/hunkydoryrepair/MonitorKeeper/) which normally works for keeping the windows on the right monitor, but it doesn't work when Firefox launches the windows on the wrong monitor.

All other programs have no problems like this and open where I left them. It only seems to be the Firefox restore session that somehow fails to put the windows in place on first launch of the day.

Since the update of Dec. 9, many of my longtime accounts do not recognize me, and I don't currently have workarounds. I also keep getting nasty messages that I'm in mortal danger because I've lost contact with iCloud. I have a son-in-law and grandchildren with extensive computer expertise who will visiting during the holidays, but during the holidays, but I would much prefer to be partying with them than holding computer repair clinics.

Are there any measures that a complete amateur can take to solve the worst of this Gordian knot?

Whenever I wake my mac from sleep, Firefox is unresponsive. I believe the app is not dead, just not repainting the window. Sometimes if I 'hide' Firefox window behind some other app window, then bring it back to top, it'll re-paint.

For a while I fixed the issue by disabling GPU usage in firefox. But now, even that isn't helping. Then for a while, removing and reconnecting the USB-C connection to my external monitor would fix it, but now that doesn't help.

Have to quit firefox completely and relaunch. Then the app is working again.

CA DMV and CA FTB problem with passwords

Good morning, I hope you are having a good day.

I have an account with CA FTB (to make my estimated tax payments) and an account with CA DMV (for DMV stuff like renewing drivers license).

The FTB account is https://webapp.ftb.ca.gov The DMV account is https://www.dmv.ca.gov

So, Firefox browser seems to think these two accounts are the same, and tries to use my FTB credentials for my DMV account.

It seems like the .ca.gov causes the browser to think they are the same account?

So, I would appreciate any insight on how to fix or work around this problem.

Thank you,

Kim

i am trying to type this message on firefox, but i have to avoid shift key not to interrupt typing. when i hot shift+some other keys like i, b, v, etc, devtools pop up. i have checked other forums, other q&a on firefox support, and concluded that the same issue have occurred to many users regardless of the os, features, extensions, various keyboards (but not the virtual one for me) or system settings. i have to type a lot in the browser, so i just choose to delete firefox until someday the issue is fixed.

I have had a problem with printing of an app's full page. It will print all the pages but will not print some of the content. This has happened with a printer command and print screen. I've researched the problem through the online app's help page but was told I should switch to another browser. I didn't have this problem a couple of months back but suddenly have the problem with two different company app's. Any help would be appreciated.
