Since I discovered the existence of global menu on Plasma, I’ve been searching for a version of Firefox that supports it. While I’ve found patches for it, I don’t know if it still works and have the patience to compile it.

Kudos if it’s in the AUR pre-compiled.

If you don’t know what global menu is it just moves the toolbar to any panel you want like in the attachment.

EDIT: Compiled firefox-globalmenu from the AUR, turns out it doesn’t work with wayland :(

    @mearce You are used to windows being either Maximized or Fullscreen, and these two states being very different things, and changing from one to the other being an hassle, especially exiting from Fullscreen requires touching the keyboard (ESC or f11), or a special button in the interface, hoping the developer made it recognisable. In reality, they are the same thing, with the only difference that Fullscreen hides the menus. If you have the global menu attached to a menu that avoids maximized windows you have unified Fullscreen and Maximized. If on the same panel you also put a widget tonexit from maximized, you also have a universal way to exist from Fullscreen: just take the cursor to the top of the screen and reveal the panel.
