firefox on two displays

[Richard Urwin]

Firefox just doesn't have the option (unless someone wants to jump in and
correct me) to select which display a new window is to run on.

So the only way to open a new window on a different display is to start a
new Firefox process.

Two Firefox processes can not share the same profile.

The solution is to ask the Firefox developers to modify the "open new
window" function to allow selection of the X display. That would be trivial
if you could get them interested.

There is nothing intrinsically difficult in allowing multiple processes to
the share a single profile; a change from one process could get reflected
immediately in the others. However since it hasn't been done already, I
imagine the code is too entangled. It's one of those things you need to
design for.
