Wrong focus when right-clicking on a bookmark (126.0 for Linux Mint)

Since the latest update, when I right-click on a bookmark or an item in the history list (from the menu or the bookmarks toolbar), I still get the menu that has items like "Open in new tab" or "Edit Bookmark".

However, the focus for the mouse stays on the previous menu, so that I can't click on anything in the "right-click menu", instead it is interpreted as a click in some random item in the previous menu.

Going into troubleshoot mode didn't help, so I don't think it's my configuration causing this.

Would help if we could see the issue. Try simplescreenrecorder or OBS, post it on youtube, and provide a link.

What Desktop? X11 or Wayland?

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Thank you for the suggestion! Dowloading Firefox from Mozilla worked, it seems to have been a problem with the Linux Mint-specific repository.

But just a few minutes ago, a new Firefox update was made available through the Linux Mint Update Manager (I think it went from 126.0.0 to 126.0.1) and that has fixed the issue.

I will keep in mind the option of installing directly from Mozilla if I run into this again.

Again, thank you for your help!
