Any reason why the Ultramon tabs don't appear in Firefox properties? Is there a fix?

Also, when moving Firefox between monitors, Firefox doesn't render properly in the second monitor. I need to minimize & maximize the window to restore the proper image. Can this be corrected?

Thanks.

Windows 7 64 bit
Ultramon 3.1.0
Firefox 3.6.13

This is due to the location of the shortcut (C:\ProgramData), because you only have read access to that folder, UltraMon wouldn't be able to modify the shortcut and so doesn't add the tabs.

There are a couple of workarounds for this: copy the shortcut to a different folder, modify it, then optionally copy it back to the start menu to replace the original shortcut. Or you could create a new shortcut for Firefox via UltraMon menu > Shortcuts.

Regarding the move issue: so far I haven't been able to reproduce this, I tested with Firefox 3.6.13 on 64-bit Windows 7, website was www.msn.com. One thing you can check: if you go to UltraMon Options > Compatibility, do you have settings for Firefox, with the 'use alternative method to move maximized window' option checked?

Thanks - the shortcut solution worked great.

On the screen move issue, the box is checked in the Firefox compatibility setting. However, now that Firefox is opening in the proper monitor, I suspect this won't be an ongoing problem.

Using Firefox 3.6 with Ultramon 3.0.10,the Find search bar (generated by ctrl + f) shows on one monitor but disappears on a second monitor if the window is maximized.

I would recommend upgrading Firefox, this works fine for me with Firefox 5.0.1 and UltraMon 3.1.0 (on 64-bit Windows 7), the find toolbar stays visible when moving a maximized Firefox window between monitors.
