Firefox not remembering window size with two monitors

I have a laptop with a monitor attached - both the laptop monitor and external monitor are used as separate desktops. I have Firefox set to open on the external monitor, but it does not remember the last window size: it always opens to the size of the laptop monitor. Firefox is the only program that exhibits this behavior. I have reset, uninstalled and re-installed, yet the same behavior continues. Before re-installing, I've made sure to delete any left over Mozilla/Firefox folders.

As far as I can tell this problem was never fixed and it goes back years:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251024 Bug 251024 - On startup the main window is incorrectly sized according to the workspace of the primary monitor]
Even more bugs about it here:

Snow Leopard does not remember screen position with dual monitor

Hello,
I have an external monitor, which I like to be on top of my Macbook Pro monitor. In the monitor preference pane, I can set the monitor disposition such that my external monitor (main monitor) appears on top of my laptop (secondary monitor). However, every time I unplug the external monitor, I have to do the settings again, because when I plug it back, it shows as "side-by-side" configuration.
How can I make this setting stick ?
Thanks

Try deleting a related plist:
~yourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Then reset position.

Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.

Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.
I saved a new workspace and it did not help.
No problem before I went to Maverick.

I found the fix, go to System Preferences and open Mission Control and uncheck the box to keep monitors as they were (When switching to an application...........)

Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

Some programs won't remember window size and position

I have a couple programs, notably ComicNerd, that won't ever seems to remember window size or position from quit to restart. I can't seems to find any evidence other people are having the same problem with the program, so I assume it's something wrong with my computer. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Is there some permissions problem or something?

It's likely a corrupted Preference file
Look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for .plist file with ComicNerd in it and just move it to your desktop and restart the program/computer.
The preference file should rebuild itself, so look for it and if it's in the Preference folder then delete the one on the desktop.
You also might want to run ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot.

the Verify > preference (show only corrupted) should also help locate other corrupted .plist (Preference) files for similar action like you did above.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBB

I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

Users with two monitors

Hi:
I have an application using either JInitiator 1.3.x or Sun Java Plug-In 1.4.2.x which works fine.
But I have several users with two monitors and if the user move the application to the secondary monitor the menu didn't work (using JInitiator or Sun JPI).
We are trying to move our iAS configuration to use only Sun JPI.
Is any solution for that behavior of the application when I have two monitors.

Has anyone tried to apply this patch to a middle-tier installation of just Forms and Reports Services, rather than a full Oracle AS installation? Do you know if this patch can be used in this way? The Readme is full of info about things like OID and Metadata Repositories which don't really apply to us.
I'm also worried (and unclear) about what databases are supported by this patch - in one place it says the minimum db version for patch 10.1.2.2 is DB 10g, whereas elsewhere it talks about only needing DB 9.2.0.7. (Neither of which is good for us, we're still on 9.2.0.6.) But then, for an install of just Forms and Reports Services, maybe I won't need to apply the database part of the patch..?
I'd be intererested if anyone else has patched a pure Forms and Reports install...

You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox? 
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page. 
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server. 
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

Firefox won't remember window size within the window

The size within the window will not remember it's size.
By either using the - / + or "Ctrl" & scroll wheel to change the size within the window...Firefox won't remember and when you go to the next window or link or tab or new page or whatever it goes back to the size it wants to be at (like a default size).
How do we get it to stay the same size for every page?

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Mac mini will not boot up with two monitors attached

New Mac mini running OS 10.10.1. I have a LCD monitor attached to the HDMI port, and a Cintiq 21 UX LCD monitor attached to a thunderbolt port.
It boots up properly with only the first LCD monitor attached to the HDMI port.
When I leave both monitors connected before starting the computer I get no chime, and a black screen. The light on the front of the Mac mini comes on, but nothing else happens. I have to turn off the Mac mini, unplug the second monitor and then reboot. It always starts up perfectly then. After starting the computer, I plug the second monitor in, and everything is fine.
It’s kind of a pain in the neck to constantly plug and unplug the second monitor from the back of the Mac mini. Is there anything I’m overlooking?

Thank you, Illaass! Resetting the SMC solved the problem! I tried that first because I would prefer not to lose any preferences, and also because it was the easiest to try. You must be a genius in addition to being such a good egg!
(This is the number of smiles I smiled after my Mac mini booted properly with both monitors connected.)

Folio 9470m notebook with two monitors

Hi all, I want to use my Folio 9740m notebook with 3 independent display (Built-in display and two external monitor HP L1750). I tried to connect direct to notebook and docking station but it's not working. Only two displays are working at same time. Is it possible to use with 3 display (Intel HD graphics 4000 can do that)? Thanks for your help. Greg

I've not been able to get 3 indpendent monitors running either. I suspect it may have to do with the high resolutions of thw two monitors. Has anyone tried using lower resolution settings for three monitors (didn't work for me)? On another note, using the single displayport only allows for a "stretched" desktop environment. In order to get two independent desktops we had to use one monitor on the displayport in the back of the docking station of the 9470m and use the 2nd monitor on the side displayport which is attached to the laptop itself. This allows you to run two indendent desktops on each of the two monitors without having to get that "Daisy chained" effect where your desktop is just stretched (i.e. when you maximize a window it stretches across both monitors).
The Folio only supports Dual Displayport 1.2 technology which only allows the daisy chain monitors and doesn't support multiple independent desktops, thus your only option is to get one big wide desktop if you connect multiple monitors to a single displayport. I'd love to get a solution to allow me to use two monitors plus the built-in display! Any ideas??
