User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

OS: Debian Bullseye with Xfce 4.16 and package gtk3-nocsd installed. In Firefox 90.0.2:, right-clicking on a link opens the link in a new browser window rather than displaying the context menu and waiting for a selection to be clicked. Purging gtk3-nocsd and rebooting returns right-clicks on links to the expected behavior which is to open a context menu. Doesn't happen in Firefox ESR 78.12.0.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Please run Firefox with MOZ_LOG="Widget:5", reproduce it once and attach the log here.
Thanks.

Also is that a recent regression?

Attached file mozilla-bug

firefox --MOZ_LOG="Widget:5" results from the terminal as requested,

I've no idea if this is a regression, the same version of FF, 90.0.2, works as expected in Debian Buster which of course has no gtk3-nocsd package as it uses Xfce 4.14.

Further info: I haven't been beta testing Debian Bullseye all along. I'm actually testing MX Linux version 21 beta 1, based on Bullseye, and only started three days ago. MX-21b1, like the current stable version 19.4 which is based on Debian Buster, has FF 90.0.2.

Thanks. Please also get a log for MOZ_LOG="Widget:5 WidgetPopup:5" env variables.

My distro's packagers have already updated Firefox to version 91.0.1 and it doesn't happen anymore: right-clicks on links in web pages now behave as expected, presenting the context menu. Do you still want the MOZ_LOG="Widget:5 WidgetPopup:5" information even though I'm no longer able to reproduce the issue?

Flags: needinfo?(jaymot)

No need for that, Thanks.

...and Firefox was updated to 90.0.2 this morning. The distro distributes FF via their own repo rather than the updates coming directly from Mozilla (so they can make the default home page the distro's news blog) and their packagers are very fast to keep things updated. Sorry I was unable to follow through on the issue. I guess the important thing is that everything's working OK.
