[Bug 1859123] Re: No global menus (panel-appmenu / dbus) in Firefox 72.0.1
I was severely annoyed by the new behavior of the Alt key (FF 75, Ubuntu 20.04, Unity 7). If I move the window using Alt + mouse drag (which I frequently do), the menu opens up. Subsequent letters I type aren't sent to the webpage, but navigate the menu. Another lone Alt keypress doesn't close it either (well, pressing it closes, but then releasing the key opens the menu bar again), so I have to reach out to Esc to close it. This behavior was unacceptable for me. I first found the workaround of enabling View -> Toolbars -> Menu bar. This way the menu bar is always visible, and the super annoying behavior of Alt is gone. Alas, there's a price to pay in terms of wasted screen real estate. After a bit more searching I found an even better workaround. Instead of the previous one, go to about:config and set ui.key.menuAccessKey to -1. Then the browser needs to be restarted. A lone Alt key (or Alt + moving the window) no longer opens up the menu bar. However, Alt+F, Alt+E etc., as well as F10 still open it up, so all the functionality, in their familiar layout is still conveniently available. It's not as good as Unity integration used to be, but almost as good; to me it's an acceptable minor inconvenience. I hope I could help some people with this comment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1859123 Title: No global menus (panel-appmenu / dbus) in Firefox 72.0.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1859123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Indeed, the unity-menubar patch was removed in focal with https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox.focal/revision/1340. This is intentional: that patch is becoming harder to maintain with every new firefox release, and having it in 20.04 means it would have to be maintained until at least 2025, which is unrealistic. I understand this is a functional regression, but it's intended this way. Sorry for the inconvenience. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1859123 Title: No global menus (panel-appmenu / dbus) in Firefox 72.0.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1859123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
