fwiw cannot reproduce on firefox nightly, plasma git build, firefox running in native wayland mode.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2024-08-05 18:50:49 UTC
I also cannot reproduce it with current KWin git master and Firefox 128.0 in native wayland mode.
Comment 4 Vlad Zahorodnii 2024-08-15 15:15:03 UTC
I cannot reproduce the issue either. Based on the screenshot, it looks like you're using a highly customized firefox theme in plasma, and the default one in gnome where the tabs are above the address bar. In either case, the suggestions popup is not managed by kwin, it's a subsurface, and its position is decided by firefox. We recommend you to report this issue to firefox developers.
