Cant Seem to move Bookmarks between folders on ubuntu 22.10 as a flatpak
I installed firefox as a flatpak on ubuntu 22.10(kinetic kudu) and everything works fine except for one thing,that being the fact that i cant seem to drag bookmarks from one folder to another, as as soon as the bookmark is dragged from the folder towards another dropdown menu the entire bookmark dropdown closses. as soon as that happens i also cant seem to type inside of firefox restarting firefox fixes the latter issue but not the former.
i hope i explained the problem well

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
i have tried it and it saddly has the same issues

Both version fail... See what happens with a usb live stick or VM. X11 or Wayland?
please ignore this one i thought it didnt post this one

as far as i know ubuntu 22.10 uses wayland as default. i know that its not just specific to this computer as it also doesnt work correctly on my laptop. might it be because its a flatpak?

Can you test in X11?
how would i do that?
Not sure about Ubuntu, but at my login screen, I can pick Wayland. see screenshot
ive been trying to find out how to launch apps in x11 instead of waland but i cant find anything. most search results are completely unrelated
I found this... https://askubuntu.com/questions/213678/how-to-install-x11-xorg
i have x11 installed already i just do not know how to launch firefox using it
i just remembered i used this script(https://github.com/popey/unsnap) to switch to flatpak might that be a source of error?
Yeah... that unsnap sounds messy. I suggest using the Ubuntu forum and ask how to boot X11. You can also just start over or give openSUSE a try. ;-) IMHO it's clearly an OS issue if both versions of Firefox have the same problem. Good Luck
thanks for your help. ill stay with ubuntu or another debian based distro though
