User level: Level 1 (59 points)File Window Location - running firefox and when i download a file and then open the file window appears in the upper left of my screen (sony tv). is there a way to have the file window open in the center of the screen? i tested with safari and same result. not a big deal but is annoying....

What macOS version is the Mac mini running..?
What kind of files are you downloading and opening..?
It sounds like you may just need to do a little manual training to change that behavior.
Next time you download and open a file, try dragging the open window to the center of the screen.
If may take several attempts of dragging to center, to train the system into remembering and reusing that location.

The default for Preview has always been in the upper left corner.

mac mini m2 pro golden gate 27.2 - figured the topic selector placed my question where it needed to be. no biggie.
i have only been downloading PDF files
i have been training and dragging for the past 3 years since the purchase of the mac mini. not sure if my mac mini should be held back in school :)
i also noticed that when i create a new entry using calendar it does the same thing (see screenshot)
and same if i open a PNG screenshot file when i open from the desktop (see screenshot)
