By default, "window.open" and "window.moveTo" take locations, but

if you ask for a window to open on the (part of the desktop displayed
on the) second screen, it will in fact appear on the main display.
In Internet Explorer, there is a security setting named something like
"allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints"
which lets me get around this. If I enable this, I can use javascript
to open windows on whichever desktop I choose.
I would LIKE to be able to keep open the option of using (or, if
necessary, changing to) Firefox on these kiosks. But I cannot
see how to do this: it does not seem to have any equivalent to this
security setting, so I cannot get windows off the primary display.
Can anybody shed any light? Is there a way to do this?
While I consider Firefox's behavior a bug (that you should file on
Bugzilla if it has not been filed there before), you can
A) use a signed script on these boxes
B) modify the Firefox preferences on these boxes
and request the UniversalBrowserWrite privilege to work around that.
