BUGZILLA: Tooltips persist in foreground when Firefox is in background
Oh wow, I always just assumed it was somehow my fault. This has been following me for years, over different Windows versions and reinstalls. It didn't happen often, but still regularly enough that I remember it.
Yes! I thought I was going crazy, or was just somehow running a broken installation!
I have always blamed my various linux desktop window managers for that bug, never realizing its always the same culprit
On occasion (a smaller screen) it could be quite annoying as it might interfere with the display of a form or other critical element.
Looking forward to the update and the next 22 years of firefox not just being bugfree but being the impactful application it once was.
Interesting, this bug was filed before even the first version of Firefox was ever released -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_early_version_history. Impressed that they've kept the bug tracker history working for so long.
Did the bug tracker history carry over from Phoenix/Firebird maybe?
This was a bug in the Gecko engine, which was used in Netscape 6 and the Mozilla Suite (Navigator and Communicator) before Firefox was created (in response to Mozilla Suite bloat). Gecko still uses the same Bugzilla bug tracker.
Lmao this bug existed longer than some of you out there
Wow. Thinking about it, there are businesses built, peaked and destroyed in that time frame. :)
Mozilla being one of them.
If you're a loser using Firefox here are some alternatives.
Googlomium
Try Arc (MACOS SUPREMACY ONLY)
Gecko
They all suck lmao
Weebkit
Safari, duh

God bless Mozilla. Goog/applestrags would've closed it as 'will not fix' 15 years ago.

Mozilla regularly donates anywhere from $50,000 - $150,000 to hard leftist causes. They've donated to antiracist activists, nebulous social justice movements, but most notably they gave $100,000 to RiseUp, an anarchocommunist infrastructure provider.
While doing that, it also lays off 250 largely tech employees while leaving bugs like this unfixed for 20+ years. Mozilla treats Firefox like a cash cow it can use to fund its activist ventures.

Isn't Mozilla's entire business model based around "set Google as the default search engine so that they pay us gajillions of dollars?"
I'm going to start a shitty web browser and start my own political party and fund myself

They keep scoring consistently higher on privacy than other mainstream browsers (even DDG and Brave), IDGAF who they donate to as long as they're not donating my data.

I switched from Chromium to Firefox a couple years ago because performance metrics were close enough and 90% so I can use Tree Style Tabs. I always have 50 tabs open and being able to close whole groups of drama sub-links I opened, while keeping them auto-organized by parent source / collapsible, is the only sane way to use the internet on desktop.
I refuse to use anything else until tree tabs are supported in another good browser![:marseyindignant: :marseyindignant:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyindignant.webp)

I actually stopped using Firefox after an update broke treestyle tabs for me. They still technically worked, but there was some minor change that was a deal breaker for me. Can't remember what it was, but I remember being upset.

Firefox is still the only browser that supports tree style tabs, through addons. The eponymous Tree Style Tabs has kept working like it always has, although that's exactly why the cool kids use Sidebery.

It happens on Linux as well and I'd guess OSX too. The issue is that you could, in certain circumstances, get mouse events after getting the focus lossed event. It really does happen all over the place, but the browser doing it is obviously a particularly likely-to-trigger one.
