Is there a new MacOs bug about Firefox refusing to minimize/relinquish control?

Firefox 應用程式反應速度

This new issue is puzzling:

Normally, on MacOS, when you minimize an app that's currently running and occupying the desktop, say by clicking the orange button at top left or by clicking another app, its menu would disappear from the top toolbar and other apps could then be invoked. Clicking that app icon again would restore it to the screen and its menu would again be on the top toolbar.

But Firefox has stopped allowing that behavior: Now, when I try to minimize Firefox, while its screen minimizes (revealing the desktop underneath), its menu remains on the top toolbar. It is as if Firefox refuses to let go of the controls. So, while you can see the other icons on the desktop - say file folders - they are unresponsive to clicks and do not open when you click them, as if Firefox is not letting you access File Manager.

Furthermore, you can still access these desktop file folders, but only by opening the finder using the bottom toolbar menu, not by clicking the file icons directly.

For what it's worth, all menus are still responsive (bottom toolbar, top toolbar, apple menu), just nothing that's on the desktop responds when Firefox is still running, despite being minimized.

Hi nkstrauss,

The top mac toolbar should be align with the app the active app that you're currently using. Once you minimize Firefox, you should click on the other app that you want to use next and the mac toolbar will switch to match the current app.

At least that's how it works on my device.
