Hi,

I have 2 monitor. I use Firefox on the primary monitor. When watching streaming, when I hit the fullscreen button, the fullscreen display goes on the secondary monitor. How do I fix this? How can I tell Firefox witch monitor I want it to display fullscreen on? Don't have this proplem when using Chrome. Thanks.

Nvidia Geforce 9500, correctly configure and primary display monitor defined, on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. Proprietary driver 313.113

Hi JossLelibre, Open a new window in the preferred monitor that will be starting the streaming. Close Firefox and open the url one more time, does the window open int he right monitor?

Another solution I found for Windows was: "desktop>screen resolution>Multiple displays>show desktop only on 1>apply>extend these displays>apply" Reference reddit.com

I hope this helps.
