Are WindowFX and Firefox Compatable?

I cannot get the WindowFX right-click menu to open when using Firefox.

from Stardock Forums

Hello all! I was curious if anyone know if WindowFX and Firefox are compatibly. I would like to be able to pin Firefox on top of my other windows, but can get the WindowFX menu to popup when I right click the top left hand corner, like I can with other windows/software's.

Thank you!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Just check my WindowFX and Firefox, pin on top work for me. If it work on other apps on your system. Maybe there are some Firefox addon make it not compatible with WindowFX. Try the Firefox's "Private Window" mode, which usually run without any addon.

Thanks for the help Basj, I tried private mode and didn't have any luck.

Any suggestions on what to test next?

Thank you!

Actually, what is "Overflow Menu"? Maybe that is overriding WindowFX Pin to Top function.

Thank you,

As far as I know,"Pin to Overflow" and "Remove From Toolbar" are both Firefox commands that send extension shortcuts to the overflow menu.

Alt Space usually shows the menu too, or shift + right click the taskbar button

I ran into this problem as well, and am glad I found this post/thread. I am happy that "alt-spacebar" in Firefox provides the same functionality as right-clicking on the firefox top bar, to pop open the WindowsFX menu. 

Any chance you can get it to work on Firefox like it does on Chrome, with the right-mouse button bringing up the WFX menu?

 

Thanks.

Unfortunately that's something the Firefox devs would have to do.

WindowFX extends the standard System menu that all standard Windows applications would show on a titlebar right click but the Firefox devs have opted to override that with their own menu.
