Questions[globalmenu](ubuntu)

I would like Firefox to use the global menu on KDE Plasma 5.19 running on X11.

• The widget set for both GTK and KDE is Breeze.
• I am currently using Kubuntu 20.10, but also have machines running 18.04 and 20.04. Global menu does work on 18.04, but not 20.04 or 20.10 (or 21.04 or 21.10...).
• Existing questions on the topic are outdated, mostly related to issues with appmenu on Unity.

The global menu has never worked for me with Firefox. The global menu does work with other applications that have menus.

• GTK2: xournal
• GTK3: geany, geeqie
• KDE: Falkon, Konsole
• Others: Google Chrome, LibreOffice

The following potentially relevant services are running:

• Application menus daemon
• GNOME/GTK Settings Synchronization Service

The following do not work:

• plasma-browser-integration package and associated add-on.

• xdg-desktop-portal-* packages.

• Wayland. The global menu of GTK apps do not work in Wayland. Wayland also has too many other defects.

• Restarting Firefox with a fresh profile.

• Installing the following packages. Most of them were not necessary for other applications to use the global menu.

What needs to be done to get Firefox to use the global menus?

I am using Kubuntu 20.04. I added global menu to the panel. Most of the applications are using the global menu perfectly. But Gimp, Inkscape and Texmaker are not using the global menu at all.

How can I make these three applications to use the global menu?

Update: Gimp and Inkscape - both are installed from official snap. Texmaker was installed from official ubuntu repository using apt. GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.10.20 Inkscape version 1.0 Texmaker version 5.0.3

This is how application menu on my Mac.

And this is on ubuntu 18.04.
There is only a menu item quit inside Pycharm on the top bar, other menu items like File, Edit, View are on the different bar, how can I make it look like macOS?

BTW, when I googling it, I found this extension. but looks like it doesn't work on 18.04 and makes system unstable.

How do I get the application menu to be placed inside the Firefox window?
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and Firefox 12.0.

I like Unity as a whole, but the Mac-style "globalmenu" idea provides bad usability -- especially other users on my computer never find the menu and that prevents them from doing several tasks, like printing.

I've run the command sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu to put the menu back into the application window for most applications -- except Firefox.

I've seen that there have been tricks to achieve the reverse, probably with older Firefox versions that didn't support globalmenu yet. Isn't there a similar trick to go the other direction now?

Is there a way to install gnome-globalmenu on openbox ?

I love minimal linux distro and apps, I don't want to use gnome or kde ...
