Menu bar not visible in LibreWolf browser

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

  • Web Browser: LibreWolf (Firefox-based)
  • Local OS: Windows 11 Pro
  • Remote OS: Ubuntu (server)
  • Remote Architecture: amd64
  • code-server --version: 4.112.0 (Code 1.112.0)

Description

The menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.) is completely missing when accessing code-server through the LibreWolf browser. The same setup works correctly in Google Chrome, where the menu bar is visible as expected.

LibreWolf is a privacy-hardened Firefox fork. The issue is likely related to LibreWolf's strict privacy settings or JavaScript restrictions causing the menu bar to not render.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Deploy code-server using Docker (lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:latest)
  2. Open code-server URL in LibreWolf browser on Windows 11 Pro
  3. Observe that the menu bar is completely absent
  4. Open the same URL in Google Chrome
  5. Observe that the menu bar is visible and working correctly

Expected Behavior

The menu bar (File, Edit, Selection, View, Go, Run, Terminal, Help) should be visible in LibreWolf, just as it is in Google Chrome.

Actual Behavior

The menu bar is not rendered at all in LibreWolf. The editor functions otherwise, but the menu bar is invisible.

Additional Context

  • LibreWolf is a privacy-focused Firefox fork with stricter default settings
  • The issue does not occur in Google Chrome
  • Running behind Cosmos Cloud reverse proxy
  • Deployed via Docker with lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:latest

Steps to Reproduce

Expected

The menu bar (File, Edit, Selection, View, Go, Run, Terminal, Help)
should be visible at the top of the editor, just as it appears in
Google Chrome.

Actual

The menu bar is completely invisible when using LibreWolf browser
(privacy-hardened Firefox fork). The editor loads and functions
correctly, but the menu bar is not rendered at all.
The same setup works correctly in Google Chrome.
