Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated.
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

is it just me or #Firefox sometimes randomly decides to stop responding to any left mouse clicks on existing tabs? like trying to close, go back or unmute – with no reaction (bark.lgbt)

right click and picking an option from the menu works

it started with the last release ig (i'm on 138.0.1, Arch on Wayland)

Never any problems. Do you still have that problem when addons are disabled?

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 4 days ago

Not just you, their tabs are shit and they refuse to fix it

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 4 days ago

I have that as well, guess it is a general problem. Never bothered to mention it to someone.

My whole browser seems to not respond to anything. Switching to another app and switching back usually fixes it.

I guess it's a Wayland thing.

Never had that but middle click stops working to open new tabs quite often. Might be my mouse though

[–] Zikeji@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

Hmm, maybe some other interaction / conflict? Never experienced this on both my desktop (Arch, Wayland, Gnome) or my work PC (Fedora Silverblue, so Wayland and Gnome but slightly behind).

@rail_@bark.lgbt i've seen that happen occasionally on sway and i3, and sometimes it was more general (i.e. the entire desktop was no longer responding to clicks but all shortcuts still worked). i don't think I've had it happen to Firefox specifically?

@rail_ I saw that recently on Nightly. That makes me think maybe it was package updates.

Is it still happening? Can you make it happen consistently?

[–] rail_@bark.lgbt 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

@yoasif@mastodon.social it's happening on a stable release and pretty much every time I use Firefox (but not all the time)

[–] yoasif@mastodon.social 1 points 4 days ago

@rail_@bark.lgbt See if you can figure out mozregression: https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/

I generally use the CLI version.
