Firefox opens on my second monitor despite my confirming my primary monitor as 1 in Windows 11 I have tried on many occasions to "lock" Firefox onto monitor 1 via settings in Win 11 and Firefox, but it still opens probably 3 times out of 5 on the 2nd monitor. My version is 151.0.3

Go to Firefox settings, scroll to General -> tabs and select "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately".

Sorry but that solution didn't work. Cold start PC and when startup is complete, I open Firefox Invariably it will open on Monitor 2 rather than 1

The solution offered above, did not stop that from happening.
