Dual screen: stop things opening up in the second screen?

[KingstonU]

Just hooked up my old screen as my second to my new build. Now whenever I open up firefox and other applications it opens in the second screen and it's annoying to have to drag it back. Can I stop this?

Ultramon Great program for dual monitors. It will do exactly what you want.

How did you setup the dual screens? Somehow the secondary screen may have been established as the primary screen (i.e. any applications will open in this window first) and your primary is treated as the secondary. I would double check your settings (either through Windows Display properties if you use Windows) or through your graphics card manufacturer's settings. I am not sure how the Linux Distros handle dual screens, but I believe it is the same. I would check your display settings and see how the two screens are established in priority.
