TC runs browser on monitor left of main display

Yep. Most modern browsers will open at the same size, and in the same position, as when you last closed them. (If it was a clean exit. Killed it via task manager won't retain last position.)

But, as HKosova says, you are better to use "position" and locate and size the browser yourself. I can't guarantee the size of monitor/browser window my tests will run on. So I tend to:

1. Always start in a set position.

2. Always maximise the browser if you want to make use of as much screen as possible.

3. If using multiple browsers, I check the available screen resolution/size, and then split it in 4 and resize my browsers accordingly. So they always take up a quarter of the screen (and smaller than that and it become pointless) and never overflow it.

4. Ensure any of my functions that interact with controls are always able to scroll things into view if they need to.

Makes things nice and robust and portable. :)

In addition to what tristaanogre said, you can use .Position() to change the window position.

function Test()
{
 Browsers.Item(btChrome).Run();
 var bw = Sys.Browser().BrowserWindow(0);

 // Move the browser window to (0, 0) and maximize
 bw.Restore();
 bw.Position(0, 0, bw.Width, bw.Height);
 bw.Maximize();
}

This is perfect. Because I use an incognito session in Chrome, my browser won't save any defaults. Thank you!
