I do not judge anybody just inform abou the issue which prevents me from using firefox and thunderbird properly. And of course the same "time check" is in source code for firefox too. Please see details in forum link I posted above. changed again from the larger size to really small again. To ensure proper function in Thunderbird. font and theme size changer stopped working today following Thunderbird auto update to v 60.2.1 Main window font too small to read with impaired vision My fontsize in the from, subject, etc. It is not possible to install adjusted addon back to the firefox maybe due to signing addons which is required by firefox.īut there is another important aspect: the creator of this addon implemented time check into source code which was needed to remove (Why download the ODF version? Because it works around a bug reported here and fixed in the repository version libreoffice-6.1.I am using this addon in thunderbird too and there is a fix available and it works but only for thunderbird where I applied it without problem. Not installing this package gives a less attractive window, but at least it’s usable. Something very similar happens if the Open Document Foundation version of LibreOffice is installed with the “KDE4 interface for LibreOffice” package (libreoffice-kde4). The problem goes away if Firefox is restarted and “Restore Previous Session” run. There’s an intermittent problem with Leap 42.3 and Firefox 60.1.0esr too where the buttons on the titlebar contain black squares (but still work) and the text is obscured by an irregular whiteout in the shape of each character. Hear! Hear! Firefox seems well on the way to becoming bloated with “features”, maybe it’s time to migrate to Vivaldi. Firefox developers should mind manners not to meddle with other applications. Messing around within Firefox is one thing. I am surprised that nobody else suffers from this sudden weird malady.Īnd “export MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION=none” does not work for me. Otherwise, it is functional for normal browsing. I have had no problems with boxes or decorations at the top of Firefox. No visible version information whether in stable or beta versions. Help > About Firefox : no Arabic numerals, strange spacing. Preferences for Fonts do not show size, for instance. There seem to be 3 spaces between words for pages for Preferences or Add-ons bookmarks suffer from the same symptom. Whether in Plasma or a window manager, Firefox itself is now blessed with a monospace typeface with strange behaviour. Whatever the theme is, the appearance is flat and ugly. I have KDE installed and updated but I normally do not use it (no GNOME for me), as colour registration is sometimes off and very hard on my eyes. Openbox seems immune to the Firefox’s unwarranted and unwanted meddling as far as its menu system is concerned. That’s not the way this window manager is set up. With IceWM, pressing on the left-hand corner pops up a menu, except that only icons are shown. Pressing Alt-T gets me a terminal emulator (as I have configured it). With the second one, Firefox beta is launched. If I press on the first (now invisible) item, a command box pops up, just as before. The Fluxbox popup menu is now a blank fat squat frame only: no visible menu items. This feature, not merely within Firefox itself, seems to be playing havoc with Fluxbox (my preferred window manager) and IceWM. … export MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION=none … new feature: It’s called Client Side Decorations (CSD) … Firefox now embeds and may use its own window manager … This clearly breaks the Firefox window for KDE users, and also looks ugly as it breaks the theme so many of us don’t want it… additionally I understand the GTK client decoration shouldn’t even be supported in version 59, so this shouldn’t even be happening at all. I’m leaving this open in case the openSUSE crew can fix it in 59 so we don’t have to wait until 60 for a solution. The only thing that makes it go away is running FF with the following environment variable set: export MOZ_GTK_TITLEBAR_DECORATION=none Folks kept saying that it should be possible to disable with in about:config, but that setting doesn’t work for me and isn’t intended until Firefox 60 from what I hear. I next had a chat on the Firefox IRC channel about this. This causes two titlebars to appear, as visible in the screenshot I’m attaching here. Apparently this isn’t a bug but some sort of new feature: It’s called Client Side Decorations (CSD) and it basically means that Firefox now embeds and may use its own window manager, because why not break the OS with unnecessary functionality?įirst off I created a KWin window rule to force the normal titlebar to show up again.
