Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Switch monitor icon gone on Firefox
Upbeat99   2012-07-12 22:40
Upgraded to 3.2. Using Win 7 64-bit. Now I have no switch monitor icon on Firefox 13. I use Firefox probably more than any other application. I would sure like to get it back.

I added a hot key but that doesn't work either.

Same problem, upgraded to 3.2 and Move Window button no longer appears in Firefox. Other applications seem fine (so far).

I'm having the same issue. Should have looked here before upgrading. Hopefully this will be fixed or a workaround found soon.

Same issue here. As a workaround, until he fixes it, you can set up a hotkey to have the current application toggle to the other monitor. I set mine to Crtl-Shift-Q - bang, Firefox switches to the other screen. Just right click on the Ultramon taskbar icon, choose Options, and it's on the Hotkeys tab.

Or, as I just found in another thread, you could do this:
1. Start Firefox
2. Go into the UltraMon options --> Compatibility Tab
3. Highlight FIREFOX and then click EDIT.
4. Put a check mark next to "use alternative method to add window buttons".
5. Click OK
6. Click OK

Thanks Chuck, this fixed an issue I didn't realise I even had! I came on the forum to query why I have a "move to other monitor" button floating around randomly on my screen - turns out it was from firefox!

You da man Chuck ;)

Bah! This doesn't work if you have > 2 monitors - it adds the buttons but when the window with 1,2,3,4 opens, nothing happens when you select a screen....

I'm also having Firefox problems. I don't use the move monitor buttons, but I use the drag maximized window option, which is not working properly. The compatibility trick makes it work until I close and open Firefox. Then it is broken again. I have 4 monitors.

While I had the video card that drives my third monitor disabled (I only use it when I have a particular need for a 3rd screen), I have now enabled it to test Ultramon 3.2.0. Firefox 13.0.1 moves to any one of the 3 screens that I select, on my system (currently in W8), as do all the other windows I have tried with the exception on the Device Manager window, which will not move to the 3rd monitor, but will move to the 2nd.
I have had to "use alternative method to attach window buttons" to get consistent attachment of the move windows button to Firefox.

I tried all of the compatibility boxes with no luck before I tried using a hotkey. Still hapless.

Tried uninstall/reinstall with no luck. The compatibility mode thing is weird. Regardless of whether I check/uncheck it, it will make things work until I close and open the program again.

Anyways, I finally went back to 3.1, and everything is working fine again.

The solution didn't work for me either. Firefox just automatically updated for me and it's working for me now.
Dan H   2012-07-19 11:18
I realized my FF was way out of date since I didn't have auto-update on. I updated to the latest FF, but it didn't fix anything for me with 3.2. 3.1 still working right.

Thanks, Christian! The patch posted on July 27 worked for my 64-bit machine. I'll fix the 32-bit laptop later today.
