Running the latest Firefox ESR (52.3.0) on Linux is fine when used in a
standard Xorg window (on the machine running Firefox). BUT, if the same
configuration is started using Xvnc (for secure remote access to a single
Firefox window -- and nothing else), NONE of the control "drop-downs"
work, while everything else works as expected.
Any help in tracking this down would be appreciated.
The most obvious thing that came to my mind: With Firefox 52esr (Firefox 46
to be exact) Mozilla switched from GTK2 to GTK3 by default.
Have you tried executing any other GTK3 application in your setup? Let's see
if the problems are the same there. You could also try to rebuild Firefox
52esr with GTK2 instead of GTK3.
The Red Hat 6 / CentOS 6 / Scientific Linux 6 rpm packages of firefox 52.3.0esr
are build against GTK2 (gtk2 >= 2.24). You may be able to use one of these
packages, or the binaries inside, rather than compiling your own version
to test.
I'm running firefox-52.3.0-3.el6_9.x86_64 on a Scientific Linux 6.9
machine, displaying on an android tablet running either bNVC Free or
RemoteRipple.
I use twm window manager but not Classic Theme Restorer
or Classic Toolbar Buttons.
Alt-F brings up the File menu when I am in normal, multi-tab
mode, but not when I switch to "full-screen, no menu-bar" mode with F11.
In the normal mode I can also use the mouse to navigate the
file/edit/view menus that Paul highlighted in
http://iment.com/paste-bin/Firefox-CTR-CTB-VNC.jpg
However the same is true for me on the console - I see
no difference with and without Xvnc.
