    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();
    }

Did a bit of playing around...

I simply executed the following code:

 

function lah() {
    Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run();
}

And when the browser opened, before I closed it, I moved it to another one of my 3 monitors.  

When I re-ran the code, the browser window opened on that NEW monitor, not the original.

So... behavior appears to be that the browser will open on whatever monitor it was last opened on.

Solution: When your browser opens, move it to the monitor you want, then close it... that should fix your issue.
