@rodneyck No, I'm just too lazy to compile every 0.0.x version update...
Anyway, I checked the latest update and found the Thunderbird Monthly became the new release version, and the old release version became ESR, so I created a new package thunderbird-esr-globalmenu and will update there since I prefer to use ESR channel, and have uploaded the compiled package there too.


The patch works on version 128.9.1 for me, but I don't know if it works on 137.0. In version 128 the configuration to enable global menu has become back to ui.use_unity_menubar, but it's enabled by default, so shouldn't be the problem.

Was wondering if you abandoned this? I haven't seen any builds in your Google Drive lately?

BTW, I tried to apply the fixes listed below, 'MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0' and 'widget.gtk.global-menu.enabled' but neither worked for the latest Thunderbird release in both Wayland or X11.

This package fails to build due to Thunderbird's mach tool encountering a mismatch between the system Python version and the expected virtual environment. To resolve this, I had to downgrade to Python 3.11, which is available in the AUR.

@detian... thank you. That did the trick. I completely forgot about that env var.

@bytefoundry Maybe you are using Xwayland in 115 build but didn't know, try MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 env var in 128 build?

Global menu not working in Wayland, but it was with the version Thunderbird 115 build.

@detian Perfect, that worked. Thank you again!

@rodneyck I update the patch to @Betterbird one, so its default disable.

For enables Global Menu:
1. Go to Settings > General > Config Editor(the last button at the bottom)
2. Search for widget.gtk.global-menu.enabled
3. Set it to true

@detian I downloaded and installed your build from google drive you released today but the global menus are not showing up.
