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

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.
