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 :(

    In macOS it makes it very clear which application you’re in (if you momentarily forget), and you can get to menu items quickly (if you’re not already using the consistent key commands already) especially when using a Magic Trackpad (just swipe down fast and you’re there).

    Whenever I have to deal with looking at Windows, application windows look super clunky and it’s definitely not helped by windows duplicating inconsistent menus everywhere.

    Have you seen Safari on macOS? Other browsers have to settle for hiding everything under a hamburger menu or gear icon, making the inconsistent non-native UI problem more apparent.
