Mozilla Firefox's Open Dialog vs Windowblinds skin

I am using Windowblids 11 to skin my Windows 11 and even when Mozilla Firefox (firefox.exe) is excluded from skinning, Open Dialog (in case of the picture it is Save As Dialog) has incorrect context menu, unusable basically. I reported this issue on Stardock support and I was told that Firefox is blocking crucial dll which Windowblids is using for skinning. This is what they told me:

"Unfortunately this is being caused by Firefox itself.

It is preventing a critical WindowBlinds dll from loading into the process that owns the file open dialog and in doing so is breaking Windows theming support for that which is why the menu shows incorrectly.

They would need to stop blocking wbload.dll in child processes. If they had issues with that then they should have contacted us so we could investigate a solution."

It would be great if there could be some fix for this. They receive a lot of Firefox incompatibility issues so I think they would love to fix this. In general as a user of both I hope for better compatibility between Windowblinds and other software such as Firefox.

Thank you for your time and efforts.

Versions I am using: - Windows 11 Home 24H2 - WindowBlinds 11.06 - Mozilla Firefox 142.0.1 (64 bit)

Z toho obrázku jsem nepochopil, co je na něm špatně. Ale to nevadí, protože tady není asi nikdo, kdo by ti problém mohl vyřešit (je-li to vina Firefoxu). Zkus kontaktovat autory Firefoxu tady: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org

AI napověděla:

  • Nejde o chybu ve WindowBlinds, ale o to, že Firefox z bezpečnostních důvodů blokuje načítání externích DLL do svých procesů.

Proto ani vyloučení firefox.exe ze skinování tento problém nevyřeší.

Jediným skutečným řešením by byla buď změna chování Firefoxu (nepravděpodobné, protože to souvisí s bezpečností), nebo úprava samotného WindowBlinds, aby si poradilo jiným způsobem.

No na obrázku je ukázka kontextového menu (klik pravým tlačítkem myši), které místo textových položek zobrazuje jen sloupec se šipkama a nic víc, není tedy použitelné. Říkala jsem si, že za tím nejspíš bude bezpečnost, nicméně by Windowblinds klidně mohlo mít výjimku, protože se nejedná o nějaký neznámý či nebezpečný software.

Každopádně děkuju za odkaz na autory a odpověď.
