** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
  
  I have a dual-monitor setup using an NVIDIA 7600GT and proprietary
  drivers on TwinView mode.
  
  I'm using Intrepid Ibex (8.10) with the latest updates as of Nov 7th.
  
  When I have firefox on the right-side monitor, the menus, url history,
  textfield history, and tooltips all show up on the left-side monitor.
  
+ ===============================================
+ 
+ TO REPRODUCE:
+ 
+ 1. Have only a single monitor enabled.
+ 2. Open firefox
+ 3. Enable the secondary monitor.
+ 4. Move the firefox window to the secondary monitor.
+ 5. Open menus/tooltips/etc. They will show up on the primary monitor.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND:
+ 
+ To get around this, switch steps 2 and 3.
+ 
+ ==============================================
+ 
  Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a screenshots of the menus/url
  history/textfield issues because they disappear when I click away from
  the browser (screenshot won't get taken unless I click away from the
  menu/history).  But I was able to get a shot of a tooltip showing up
  incorrectly.
