In 26.0, how do I put Download, Bookmarks, History, and Tags into separate windows? I have multi-monitor system and place these different windows . . .

Hello,
I recently, decided to upgrade from 19.0b to the current (26.0) version, as "Tab Utilities" now supports 26, but am finding one of the visual changes counter productive. My two workstations have multiple monitors. One has 2 monitors (2560x1600) and the other one has 4 monitors (2560x1600). On both workstations, I'll place the various Firefox informational windows off the "main monitor" (the one directly in front of me). This way they're available to me at a glance.
(Side note: I refer to my monitors, as 2L, 1 2R and the 4th as "auxiliary.") The one thing I miss most is being able size these Firefox windows independently and in different positions.
I mean I'm used to seeing "Download" on monitor 2R on the right side (1/8 of screen) behind Microsoft Process Explorer's System Information. While the History will be on monitor 2L on the right side at 1/4 of the screen). I'm used to glancing out my right eye at the downloads and when needing something from the past, it's right next to the main monitor #1. This way I can access history quickly.
I can see why a developer (with one monitor say 1920 x 1080) would love seeing one window, but why can't Firefox support both single and multiple monitor users at the same?
Anyway, is there a way to get 26.0 to place at least "Download" and "History" in separate sizable windows?
(I'm not jumping up and down to go back to 19.0b or to try 25, but would like to stay current.)

Hello,
Thank you for your very quick reply. Before I read your reply completely, let me see if I can answer your first concern.
> Maybe I am missing your point.
Maybe I'm not making the point properly. Honestly, I never explained the issue from how it is directly affecting me.
OK, let's do a real world example of what I'm seeing on my two monitor system. I'll first describe what I experienced with 19.0b and earlier, which is IMHO how it should work in 26 and beyond ('''''as an option'''''). Next, I'll review what I'm seeing in 26.0. Hopefully this will help you understand what changed, from a practical perspective.
In 19.0b (and how I like working) for a multiple monitor system:
On the main monitor, I'm running Firefox. It is 1920 x 1080 and is in the lower right hand corner.
On the the monitor to my right (2R), I have the Download Manager list of downloading and downloaded file. It is in the upper right hand corner and takes up about 300 x 1500 pixels.
For a two monitor system, I have the History List running beside Firefox in the lower right hand corner and it is 600 x 1080.
For a three (plus) monitor system, I have the History List running on my left (2L) monitor. It is in the lower right hand corner and is 600 x 1080 pixels big.
For 26.0: I'm seeing the following:
On the main monitor, I'm running Firefox. It is 1920 x 1080 and is in the lower right hand corner. (This is the SAME as with 19.0b.)
When I start the Download Manager and have it set up as I do for 19.0b, it looks OK. It is on monitor 2R and is 450 x 1500 pixels (because of the new navigation side bar).
'''''The problem STARTS NOW (when I start the History List).'''''
When starting the History List, it replaces the Download Manger on the 2R monitor in the 450 x 1500 pixel window. This doesn't work for me because:
1) It is too far away to see. (NOTE: I put it on the 2L monitor in the lower right hand corner. so I can see it easier for the 3+ monitor. In the case of the 2 monitor, I put it beside Firefox again to see it easier.)
Some might ask, but the Download Manager is on the 2R and right side, why can't the History List be there too? Good question, and I can only reply saying:
1) Personal choice.
2) The Download Manager is NOT as busy as the History List and I find it easy to read.
3) The History List is a lot busier and the font size looks to be smaller (might be the same, but it looks smaller to my eyes). I need it closer to me / Firefox.
What I'm saying is this . . . The Download Manager and History List have <ul>''valid reasons to be visible to the user at the same time''.</ul> They also need to be independent of one another for (at least) size and location.
Combining them together is OK for some people, but NOT for everyone. Please make it an option to combine (as in 26) and separate (25 and earlier).
I'm not sure this is the best way to put it, but here goes. Allow users to collapse or expand these various lists by using multiple windows. One window is the collapse view and multiple independent windows is the expand view.
I'll read and comment on the rest of your reply, soon. Thanks for allowing me hopefully to explain my point in a better manner. :-)

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?
That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
Thank you.

Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library. As Terence Devlin said:
File -> Relocate Masters
What you should set up:
Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

How do I put data from every XMLnode related,in separate movieclips when clicking a line in combobox

How do I put data from every XMLnode related,in separate movieclips when clicking a line in combobox?
A sample from the XML is like this:
<Planter>
          <Lauvtre>
                    <Botanisk_navn>Acer campestre</Botanisk_navn>
                    <Norsk_navn>Naverlønn</Norsk_navn>
                    <Farge>Grønn</Farge>
                    <Herdighet>H4</Herdighet>
                    <Høyde>10-15 m</Høyde>
          </Lauvtre>
I have a combobox where it shows the Botanical name, and the Norwegian name. But the rest of the info has to be shown in separate movieclips.
Anyone have an idea how to do this? Can I use the trace function maybe? Here is my AS3 code so far:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
list.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);
function itemChange(e:Event):void
          ta.text = list.selectedItem.data;
          tb.text = list.selectedItem.label;
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void
          xml = new XML(e.target.data);
          var il:XMLList = xml.Planter.Lauvtre;
          for(var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++)
                    list.addItem({data:il.Farge.text()[i] +"\n"+ il.Herdighet.text()[i]+"\n"+ il.Høyde.text()[i],
                                                            label:il.Botanisk_navn.text()[i] +"\n"+ il.Norsk_navn.text()[i]});
loader.load(new URLRequest("lauvtre.xml"));
Thanks!
Rheus.

Hi! And thank you for helping. Planter is my root node. I tried removing "Planter" from xml.Planter.Lauvtre. It didn't fetch any data then. My code works as is, but what I want the code to do, is to put these 3:
    <Farge>Grønn</Farge>
    <Herdighet>H4</Herdighet>
    <Høyde>10-15 m</Høyde>
...into separate textfields.
It has to be dynamic, so that when I click on one of the plant names in the combobox, the textfields get updated according to what is selected in the combobox.
I'm pretty new to Actionscript so I have a hard time explaining my problem:
I want to use the combobox as the menu, that has all the latin plant names listed. When I click on one of the 100 plantnames I want the correlating info from the XML, put in textfields.
