Global menu in Kubuntu is gone in Firefox Beta 73.0 on Eoan

[Alex DeLorenzo]

Using Plasma Desktop's Global Menu plasmoid on Kubuntu 19.10, the recent Firefox Beta 73 updates via Mozilla Team's firefox-next PPA do not have the Unity global menu feature enabled. This feature was working only a couple of days ago. Not sure if this is a regression or an intended removal of the global menu patch.

If you need any logs or debug information, I'll be happy to supply them. Thanks for everyone's work on this PPA, it's great :)

The global menu patch (unity-menubar.patch) is usually disabled at the beginning of the firefox beta cycle if it doesn't apply cleanly, so as not to block publishing the first beta builds.
It is later updated and re-enabled, so this is a normal situation.

Please note that using the firefox-next PPA is not recommended unless you know what you're doing (i.e. for testing purposes only). You might lose data by doing so.

Thanks for the clarification, Olivier.

Fixed with https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox-beta.xenial/revision/1322, this should be available in the next beta build.
