1268412 - Menu doesn't open / Bookmarks bar is empty in Firefox 46.0/Fedora 23 x64

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160420142932

Steps to reproduce:

Installed the official Firefox 46 binaries in Fedora 23 x86-64 ( https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/46.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-46.0.tar.bz2 ) in /opt.


Actual results:

The "Open Menu" button doesn't react to clicks, i.e. it doesn't open, i.e. it's dead.

The Bookmarks Bar is empty unless I unhide and hide the Menu.

It might be a conflict with my add-ons but then Firefox 45 works perfectly here which means GTK3 has some adverse effects. I'm not inclined to give up on my add-ons and I've now reverted to Firefox 45.1 ESR which works beautifully.

Installed add-ons which might conflict with GTK3 are: Hide Caption Titlebar Plus and Status-4-ever. 


Expected results:

The button should work.

The bookmarks bar should show my bookmarks.

Apparently your GTK3 migration is a little **** up. I would love Mozilla to build GTK2 versions as well.

Or we made changes generally between 45 and 46 and those broke one or more of your add-ons. If you restart 46 in safe mode, does it work? When it's broken, can you open the browser console, and if so are there any errors in there?

Do you get the same results with the official fedora packages? Fedora has been shipping the gtk 3 patches for longer than a year now I think.

I don't know why but Firefox 46.0.1 has seemingly fixed itself (or maybe the "bad" add-on has updated). I will reopen this bug report if I manage to reproduce it again.

I've found the "bad" add-on: it's RefreshBlocker ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refreshblocker/ )
