They open, on the LEFT monitor, which I keep strictly for my weechat client, and or Terminals. It's REALLY annoying dragging windows over to the right monitor everytime I open certain applications.
To check if this was DE related, I booted into Cinnamon, and opened firefox. It opened on the RIGHT monitor. I installed Cinnamon flavoured LM, but later chose to install and use MATE instead. The fact it opens in Cinnamon but not in MATE, in the right monitor; leads me to think this might be a bug localized in MATE?
Consider this a bug report AND a Tech support help 2in1.
Thanks.
