· After resizing a window at the left or top, 'window.moveTo(x,y)' may fail, and it was therefore preceded by 'window.moveBy(-1,-1)'.
· The test for additional monitors was extended with a test which disqualifies overlapping areas.
· The visibility of the TabsToolbar is now verified before tabs are moved to an already present browser.
