After I upgraded my system (NixOS) from 23.05 to 24.11, both Firefox and Thunderbird experience a 30 second delay between doing right click and the context menu appearing.

After clicking on a menu option, there is another 30 second delay before the menu disappears and the action is carried out.

Happens also in safe mode, and after deleting the .mozilla directory and starting from scratch.

No other GUI on the system (including non-gecko browsers) are affected.

Firefox version is 133.0.3

Singleton Tabs via Bookmark

Hi, Currently, my Firefox 133.0's default behavior is to open bookmarks in the currently active tab when clicking on them. This is fine for some applications/websites but impractical for others. With webmail clients, IP surveillance cameras, or weather forecast sites this can become a real pain, especially if someone keeps multiple instances (windows) of Firefox open across multiple virtual desktops (as I do). I end up opening these sites over and over again in different tabs.

I'd like specific bookmarks to be opened in a new tab/window if and only if that site is not already open; otherwise, bring that particular tab/window up instead of creating a new one. How could this be achieved?

Thank you very much!

I'm attempting to sync my account between a Windows host and a Linux host. Logging into my account on Linux brings up a "Authorize this sign-in" window that demands entry of a 7-char "Authorization Code" (not the same as a six-digit authentication code) which is emailed to me. After entering the authorization code, a window appears stating "Bad request - Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again." This happens consistently, and only on the Linux host. Firefox 134.0.2 mint-001 1.0. Linux Mint 22.1. Any ideas about what went wrong?

Hello, is it possible to disable or alter the hotkey for viewing source? It is overriding my config for gtk-3.0, settings.ini, where gtk-key-theme-name=emacs. While I do have the emacs keybindings go to start of line, go to end of line, and delete to end of line but not this (personally) most used hotkey. I looked in about:config for source, but those appear to only modify the tab/window/editor which the source is viewed in, but not the shortcut to reach it. It does work for most of my applications, except fltk-based ones and ones where the application sets its own macro overriding the gtk config.
