2038866 - All menus in Firefox stop appearing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 2026258

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Andrew]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:150.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/150.0

Steps to reproduce:

Environment: Fedora 43/Wayland
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:150.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/150.0

No particular steps, the issue starts occurring after 10-15 minutes of normal Firefox use. Restarting Firefox fixes it temporarily.

Changing widget.gtk.native-context-menus, widget.gtk.global-menu.enabled and
widget.gtk.global-menu.wayland.enabled from false to true or vise-versa has no effect on the issue.

Actual results:

• Context menus stop appearing
• Dialog elements on web pages, that show menu items (such as <select>), stop displaying their items
• Bookmark folders in bookmarks toolbar stop expanding
• Main menu items stop revealing (for example, clicking on "File" highlights it, but the actual items in File menu don't show up)
• Applications menu stops expanding

Expected results:

All menus should work.

Do buttons on chrome still work? For example, reload, forward, and backward buttons.

I am having this problem too on occasion. No menus at all.

Right now, I'm having a similar problem. The main menu works, but the download menu is unusable. When I click on the "download" button next to the URL text field, the menu appears but I cannot click on it. When I slide my mouse down off the download button onto the menu, the menu disappears a fraction of a second later.

I've attached my "about:support" page.

Hi Michael,
I found that you have a second screen that has a resolution of 0x0!! What is it?

No idea. At work, where that problem occurred, I have an HD second screen, 1920x1080. At home, I have a huge 32" curved display ... at least 2500x1400 pixels, probably 3800x2100 pixels. My built in display is also 1920x1080.

Firefox was on the second screen at work when I encountered the issue. I might have launched Firefox on the huge one. Is that related to the problem?
