I use KDE-Linux. I use Firefox and I have a lot of Firefox folders in bookmarks, when navigating my bookmark folders and sub menus, they will overlap on top of each other making navigation nearly impossible. And sometimes bookmarks sub menus open off screen. I don’t know how to make a screenshot or video and I wouldn’t know where to post the pictures or videos as I don’t own any online storage. Is there a way to make the bookmarks behave the way they do in Windows 11? I didn’t have this problem in Windows 11.
I don’t have this problem on KDE (Plasma 6.5.5) - is this something peculiar to KDE Linux?
Although you state that you have a lot of ‘Firefox’ folders in bookmarks (not sure what that means - I have many bookmarks in folders in Firefox, but I have only one Firefox folder).
There are also many ways to navigate bookmarks, and you didn’t specify which you use. The main one would (for me) be Ctrl_B for the sidebar; there’s absolutely no overlap with that.
From the main menu Alt+B a dropdown menu it’s a bit janky - especially with longer entries and it’s hard to know what side they’ll appear (i.e. going right might pop it up on the left, depending on space). This is always going to be an issue with multiple levels of submenus I think, though I don’t use Windows 11 so I’m not sure what the difference is.
It is one reason I prefer to avoid using this kind of menu - to find a bookmarked item I can usually just type to find, so the menu is just an excercise in browsing when I’m bored mostly.
There’s also the Library for anything more complicated, makes managing and navigating bookmarks and folders very simple, and again - I’m not able to create any kind of overlap.
I’m not sure that Firefox would look any different on KDE Linux than Manjaro… but I could be wrong… but AS LONG AS SPACE ALLOWS, I get zero overlap between any menu item from the Alt_B menu (or any other).
I’ve had this on openSUSE Tumbleweed as well, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. After I moved to waterfox (based on ff esr) the issue disappeared.
I figured out how to take screenshots. here are two screenshots showing the overlapping menu and the other screenshot showing the menu going off screen. Do you see what I mean now. I have a 4K screen with the scale factor set to 190%, KDE set it to that, I didn’t do that. I don’t know if that makes a difference, in my research I found in the past that Firefox had problems with Wayland. I use KDE-Linux which is Wayland.
