Since I discovered the existence of global menu on Plasma, I’ve been searching for a version of Firefox that supports it. While I’ve found patches for it, I don’t know if it still works and have the patience to compile it.
Kudos if it’s in the AUR pre-compiled.
If you don’t know what global menu is it just moves the toolbar to any panel you want like in the attachment.
EDIT: Compiled firefox-globalmenu from the AUR, turns out it doesn’t work with wayland :(
The firefox fork for Garuda Linux afaik has global menu support. Check out Fire dragon.
This is something I’ve wanted for a very long time! It’s such a shame that this thread is full of people discussing whether or not a global menu is even a good thing. On Debian I have literally not been able to find a single browser that respects the global menu. I’m going to try everything in this thread, and hope something finally works!
What’s the appeal of the global menu?
I find it annoying as it’s far away from the window and you have to focus on the window before you can interact with the apps menu. Worst of all, it’s hard to tell which window /instance the current menu belongs to!
It’s for people who like the Malus aesthetic, regardless whether it’s ergonomic or not. If Malus does it, every competitor just has to in order to be able to say “we can do that too”.
I think openSuse maintains a fork with patched global menu?
