Odd fail on 52.2.1; left click disabled...but works in new window

[worksong]

Immediately on installing the ESR 52.2.1 update, FF loaded & appeared fine...but left-clicking had no effect on tabs, or anywhere else.

In a 2nd FF window--with the 1st window remaining open--everything is normal, & remains so if 1st window closed. It stays that way until I reboot.

I'm still experimenting & will post any other symptoms/patterns that appear, but this has now been replicated on 2 PCs.

Anyone have similar experience, or ideas on fixing?

Same issue here, with an exception - Left click won't work in ANY (ie. ALL) of my tabs.

In other words, this renders my Firefox unusable :)

Same issue here, but (unlike OP) if I open a new window that one doesn't work either.

I have noted three things:

1. If I double-click on a link or button, FF will accept it as a single-click. I used this to navigate the menus and turn off some TK2 features to test. I also tried turning off Classic Theme Restorer to no avail. Only way I found to fix this issue was to disable the TK2 add-on.
2. BUT! When I double-click anywhere in FF or a website (on a link or not) the entire FF window will switch between maximized and windowed mode. It's just like when you double-click on the title bar of any Windows program.
3. When I click and drag anywhere on any web page, it will drag the entire FF window. Again, as if I am clicking and dragging on the title bar of any Windows program.

So this really seems like a tab positioning issue? Something conflicts with the tabs and click detection or something?

Win10 Pro, FF ESR 52.2.1 64-bit

Out of curiosity, do you guys have Firefox Sync set to sync add-ons? My FF is working again but I did a lot of things in a short period so I'm not sure which resolved it (or if it will return). One change I made was turning off the sync.

So do you have it set?

[worksong]

1--I don't use FF Sync.

2--Double-clicking does nothing for me once the app "freezes."

3--I'm seeing indications the malfunction may relate to the # of open tabs. I tend to have lots of tabs open...presently 200. I find that if I save my session, close FF, reopen with just a few tabs, then load the main session, everything works fine. But if I close & reopen with the full session, all the tabs are locked up as described above & FF is unusable.

Hoping there's a fix for this soon...

@RC-3
The three things you've noted are very similar to what happens in #131, where it's fixed when Classic Theme Restorer is installed and configured as described here. Can you check if that fixes the issue for you?

[amatesi]

1. I do have FF Sync - not for Add-Ons 'though (FF Sync Add-Ons unchecked). 2. Double clicking maximises the screen. 3. I just have a bunch of open tabs (certainly less than 10).

I have tested 0.12.27 on firefox portable 52.2.1 (32-bit) from portableapps.com
FirefoxPortableESR_52.2.1_English.paf.exe
I extracted the archived file then I only installed Tab Kit 2nd Edition
firefox built-in options are untouched.

left single click on tab bar - worked (select the tab)
left double click on tab bar - worked (open/collapse tree)
left single click on menu bar - worked (show dropdown menu)
left single click on a link - does nothing
left double click on blank space - maximize window(toggle)
left double click on a link - maximize window and open the link
wheel click on a link - worked (open the link in a new tab)

in addition I noticed when the mouse pointer hover on a link the pointer is still arrow shape.

hope this would any help
sorry for bad english

[amatesi]

Well said hiyokogit - I'm experiencing the same (mis)behaviour as hiyokogit. Thanks, Regards, Andrea.

Following @conquerist's advice fixed this problem for me.

Install Classic Theme Restorer and apply the config:

• Uncheck Use Firefox titlebar instead of OS titlebar in Firefix button page: fix the totally unusable layout and strange click behaviour

[amatesi]

Hey Ben, you suggestion worked wonders - I've unchecked "Use Firefox titlebar instead of OS titlebar" and now I can use Firefox again (left click now works). [image: Inline image 1] # Uncheck "Use Firefox titlebar instead of OS titlebar" to fix this issue.

I appreciate the suggestions, but have had "Use FF titlebar instead of OS titlebar" disabled** since before reporting the 52.2.1 FF upgrade problem. I continue to experience the same issues originally reported with this version, & am postponing upgrades on my other PCs.

** (I love the extra screen space the titlebar substitution yields, but found that it caused problems with prior FF versions, & have kept disabled since.)

[worksong]

Allowed 1 of my systems to upgrade to FF 52.3.0 esr

Nothing's worse, but nothing's fixed, either. Any help or ideas??

[PikachuEXE]

I have 52.3.0 installed and left clicking works fine.
Could you reproduce in a clean Firefox portable 52.3.0?
Once reproduced please upload the file and I will try to find out what's happening.

[RC-3]

@PikachuEXE Sorry, realized I never replied to this.
I did verify all the Classic settings were correct before posting.
I managed to fix my issue by turning off FF Sync for add-ons, removing all of my add-ons, and then adding TK2 & Classic back in proper setup order. It works now.

I blame FF Sync.

[PikachuEXE]

FF Sync? The built-in feature?
I have never used it so I don't really know what it does :P
