Details

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a new firefox window (an empty tab).
  2. Right-click on the tab bar / the side bar (after pressing c-b/h) / the address bar / the empty page.

Actual results:

The contex menu does not show up.

Adding another window (e.g. by pressing c-n in firefox or opening a terminal emulator) shifts occurence of the bug to the second window (but only firefox windows are affected - e.g. an "open new file" window (c-o) works ok). The original window now works as expected. After closing the second window the first still works as expected.

Generally: the problem occurs only in the newest window.

Additional information:

(1) When i move the mouse so that it touches the top/left edge of the screen or move it beyond the bottom/right edge the context menu shows up.

(2) A similar problem occurs in the bookmarks library window --
context menus don't work and adding a new window causes the bug to disappear (except in the newest window).

(3) A similar problem occurs when i try to merge back the newest window by dragging a tab (dragging does not work in the newest window -- i only can merge windows by dragging a tab in the orginal window).

(4) I'm running firefox on wayland/sway.
The bug does not occur on x11/i3.
Disabling userChrome.css changes nothing.
It happened after updating firefox 142.0.1 to 143.0.

Expected results:

The context menu shows up.

I tried to run firefox with a fresh profile and the bug disappeared. It maybe has to do with one of the manual changes to about:config? I don't know which settings should i check...

Try to compare prefs.js in your profiles. It may show something.

It appears that

-user_pref("gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled", true);

was at fault.

Setting it to "false" resolved the problem.

Please try latest nightly:

with gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled set to true.
Thanks.
