U see, which ubuntu do you run? Is that plain gnome or something else?

Comment 3

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

Can you attach output of 'env | grep XDG' terminal command?
Thanks.

Hi,
It's plain GNOME on Ubuntu 20.04, but probably not the default theme. I have tried disabling all GNOME extensions and seen the same thing (though that was not this screenshot).

Which Firefox version is that? Default ubuntu installation (is that a snap?) or flatpak or something else?
Thanks.

Comment 6

[stu.axon]

Cheers, it looks like the default ubuntu deb (I checked no snaps or flatpaks with 'moz' or 'firefox' in the name are installed)

[Andre Klapper]

If only Ubuntu's packages created by Ubuntu are affected, then this should be reported to Ubuntu at Ubuntu's issue tracker.
Hence it would be good to try an upstream package.

Comment 8

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

Can you please try a binary from mozilla? How-to is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems?rd=Bug_info_Firefox#Testing_Mozilla_binaries

Also is that a regression? Did that worked before?

Also please try to debug Firefox titlebar state as described here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems#Testing_Firefox_titlebar

Thanks.

Is this because CSD is disabled? Could you try going to Customize and unchecking Title Bar?

Comment 10

[stu.axon]

CSD works in other apps, such as Gedit, Nautilus and Tilix.

Downloading firefox from the link and running it helped narrow things down.

Using the default Adwaita theme and running like this worked:
MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION=client ./firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote

I was also able to reproduce that on my installed firefox.

I updated the Numix theme I was using and this now works the same as Adwaita (e.g. only when MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION=client is set).

I updated my firefox desktop file with Menulibre, so that things work in the meantime:

env MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION=client firefox %u

Without the environment variable things still don't work as expected, I'm going to attach two screenshots of the default Adwaita theme, with titlebar checked and unchecked respectively.

Comment 13

[stu.axon]

The screenshots show the bug reproduced with firefox downloaded from the .tar.bz from the link above, without MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION set.

Comment 14

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

I just did clean Ubuntu 20.04 installation, install all updates, restart the box and launch default Firefox, disabled system titlebar (it's on by default) and it looks as expected, i.e. no double titlebar here. So I wonder what can be wrong in your installation.

Comment 15

[stu.axon]

Thanks for going to that effort. My box has been upgraded from previous versions and has been my dev + home laptop for the last 3 years, so there is probably all sorts of stuff on it.

I guess if I want to debug this further I should try and do a similar thing and try a fresh Ubuntu in a VM + try installing things / setting it up until I manage to break it in the same way.

:stransky, since the bug has high priority, could you have a look please?
