I have added you as Co-Maintainer on the -bin package. I will be orphaning that package, as I switched to Sway on all my machines full time and am not utilizing most of the features of this package.
If you don't want to maintain the -bin package, just go ahead and remove yourself as co-maintainer and let the community do the work :D
Thanks again for your excellent work of maintaining this package.
Thaodan says that he is waiting for upstream patches in git(and is angry when somebody clicks it's out-of-date ;-)... ...but something doesn't add up, because I saw many times that upstream(SuSe) firefox with newer version was ready in OBS. But I don't know about this magical git repo (is it really lagging behind OBS? sounds strange at least
The OBS repo is a test bed for the maintainer and contains unfinished builds that are not complete. When the package update is finished it is pushed to git.
This package is very often, to not say usually, out-of-date.

But I don't know about this magical git repo (is it really lagging behind OBS? sounds strange at least) Another thing of confusion for me is that there's 'Librewolf' firefox fork, that's usually up-to-date, but is using similar patchset. There's also firefox-appmenu and plasmafox. both are usually up-to-date, but not sure about patchsets. But I don't like forks, because they requires separate profiles (that cannot be symlinked, like few years ago)
There were argues few times there about it. And while Thaodan is doing it for free in his free time, I do wonder if he is using this firefox-kde-opensuse and if he is interested in maintaining it at all.
While my intel laptop is too limited to make test builds, I guess there are many Threadripper users. The question is if anyone is open for co-maintainership and what @Thaodan thinks about that, but I guess it's not his pet project, so I guess he is open for that. But are there any volunteers interested?
If you have issues with this package visit gitlab and read the readme first.
mozilla-common was removed since MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH is no longer used/supported.
@perfi: Why it has been removed?
pacman -Ql mozilla-common mozilla-common /etc/ mozilla-common /etc/profile.d/ mozilla-common /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.csh mozilla-common /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh
anyway all it does is setting one env var:
cat /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.csh setenv MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"
cat /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"
There's a mirror of package: https://eu.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/extra/mozilla-common-1.4-6-any.pkg.tar.xz
mozilla-common has been removed from the official arch repos, so this won't build atm :(
The binary package in home-thaodan needs a rebuild, as icu as updated.
@gschwarz: you've inspired me to check it again and it's all f* as always
Under X11 Both plasma widgets "Window AppMenu" and "Global Menu" somehow worked. Sometimes one of segaulted with Konsole, while other worked with Firefox and sometiems one worked with Konsole, but other didn't show menu from Firefox. It was generally problematic.
Under Wayland both plasma built-in "Global Menu 2.0" and "Window Appmenu 0.6.0" works with Konsole, but any of them works with Firefox running as wayland native client (not default)
I haven't tested it, but on reddit somebody stated that firefox-appmenu works identically like firefox-kde-opensuse: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/h13s53/global_menu_when_using_plasma_wayland_kind_of/
Hey please ask for bigger questions like these on gitlab. It is hard to have conversation here. Short questions are ok but bigger issues are hard to follow.
It should work without MOZ_DBUS_REMOTE, for me it just works on X11. On Wayland howvever it does not work at all since it is unsupported/buggy (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424485).
Using the KDE globalmenu applet works just fine for me. All implementations work over DBus and proxy the menu over their respective toolkit. Firefox needs patches that add linux support to the existing menubar also used on macOS.
