[Bug 1890049] Re: global menu bar no longer supported after 20.04 upgrade
Although the absence of a global menubar in GNOME by default did influence this particular decision, the main factor was the increasing difficulty to maintain the firefox patch that enabled the feature. The patch was quite large (several thousands LOC) and heavily relied on internal APIs that have been changing significantly in the past few releases. I appreciate this is a functional regression for users of Unity and other desktop environments with a global menu bar, but this is a trade- off that had to be made to ensure timely updates for future firefox releases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890049 Title: global menu bar no longer supported after 20.04 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1890049/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't understand, it's not like Unity was the only DE environment with a global menu bar. This looks like another case of Gnome dragging everyone else's UX down with them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890049 Title: global menu bar no longer supported after 20.04 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1890049/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1890049] Re: global menu bar no longer supported after 20.04 upgrade
While we appreciate this is effectively a functional regression, it is intended. Exposing firefox's menus to the global menu bar involved a non-trivial distro patch that was increasingly difficult to maintain (because it relied on many internal APIs), so it was dropped before 20.04 (see https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox.focal/revision/1340). The firefox updates in 16.04 and 18.04 still carry the patch, FWIW. ** 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/1890049 Title: global menu bar no longer supported after 20.04 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1890049/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
