I got a reply from mozilla forum.. they said to open a reply window,
move it to where I want it, and close it. open a new one SHOULD open
where I closed the last one.. Well, that WORKED in KDE, but NOT in MATE
session.. so MATE is the issue, but after working in the KDE session for
the night, I went screaming back to MATE, ahhhhh, feels better:) oh
well, I can live with that annoyance I guess.
