Thanks for the reply. In fact global menus are my only motivation to look consider firefox-kde-opensuse. I am using KDE's built-in global menu support (via a panel at the top of the screen) and it works nicely with KDE apps as well as with e.g. vlc and Chromium. Did not install additional software to get a global menu.

@gschwarz: I've temporarily disabled global menu, because firefox with thousand o tabs became CPU hog(it worked under plasma few months ago), but:

there are different Global Menu implementations (applets) and I remember that some were not working with firefox or not working at all.
global menu haven't worked in the past under wayland, but there were some changes inside kde in recent released, I haven't tested.

Other thing is that Firefox and LibreOffice always got buggy implementations. Some time ago you needed to open global menu from firefox(it was in the panel, but unresponsive), switch to other virtual_workspace)/desktop, click on another app(without deselecting global menu, switch back and click on firefox window of gliobal menu(not sure, but you can google this procedure. But after doing it once, global menu worked until you've restarted firefox)

Generally Firefox always got buggy iplemetation and sometimes needed quirks to start working. Global Menu were always buggy, especially in the past were there were different approaches to achieve it, so applets needed dierent codebases for different ...hmmm...let's call it 'standards'. In the past (after some upgrades) some applets started working and soem got broken and sometimes were bringing whole plasma down (especially firefox). you can also try firefox-appmenu (it's in the chaotic-aur and archlinuxcn), it's more recent, but doesn't provide kde patches [but with gtk portal it lacks probably only activities and taskbar integration, but not sure about them])

Btw, write down applet you are using and if other apps (like dolphin/konsole) works with it, because problem may be related not to firefox, but to broken applet or badly written Qt plugins(all these chinese crapware like Deepin or UKUI installs them and causes sometiems not working global menu or segfaulting Qt apps under plasma(or viceversa) with some scaling factor(global envs) set] you can check it by running such applications and plasmashell from terminal and look over warning/errors qbout Qt plugins and find them latter by running: pacman -Qo /usr/lib/qt/plugins/*

Is that version supposed to support KDE's global menu (application menu)? Unfortunately it looks like it does not do so on my installation.

I'm waiting for the updated patches to appear in git.

could you please update to firefox 87?

@winicius Use my repository (recommended) or the -bin package was mentioned.

winicius: Wrong package. I guess you wanted to install firefox-kde-opensuse-bin. I just updated it.

torma: You need to rebuild the package, as one of the core libraries was updated, which needs a recompile.

What's going on with this? When I try to run firefox (from the .desktop file), nothing happens.

From the terminal, I get the following:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
libicui18n.so.68: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
