Hi All,

I require Firefox to open on two screens when opened, once on primary display and one on secondary display, and both maximised. Is this possible?

Long story short I have a till point that requires the end user to just turn on and it work. I can get one screen opening and maximised, but the second one which is the customer display I cannot. I know how to make it get on there manually but it is a lot of effort each time - with no mouse and keyboard also.

I am happy if the solution required two desktop icons they need to use for each display if that is what it will take.

So any ideas?

Thanks

Scott
 
You'll probably have to use some kind of macro program that runs on start up that positions the windows as you set.
 
I've not used any macro recorder programs in years so out of the loop as to what is good - autohotkey used to be popular but no idea if it does what you want or not these days.
 
Yea used AHK in the past but I remember having some issues with it. Also this needs to be a very bullet proof solution as the end users should never need to worry about it not working. Thanks for your help so far though mate. Has given me some food for thought.
 
Another option would be to use http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html though I'm not sure if it is multimonitor aware and you'd have to do some scripting of the win move command using it.

EDIT: Some notes on using it here in a multi-monitor context:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-and-set-the-position-and-size-of-the-window/

Its moderately advanced in terms of scripting though.

I've never found Firefox's built in options very reliable for anything other than the main window - even if it works for a few days after awhile the second or third window starts being positioned wrong :(
