08:07 <nmeum> is there a specific reason why firefox popups (e.g. the Help -> About Firefox dialog or the dialogs spawned by plugins like noscript) appear as tiling and not as floating windows? is this a bug with gtk3 on wayland? because on x11 with dwm they appear as floating windows

08:08 <nmeum> unfourtunately, I also can't use `riverctl float-filter-add` for these windows as they are spawned with a generic firefox app-id/title (which is later changed) and I don't want firefox itself (which uses the same app-id and title) to float

11:08 <ifreund> nmeum: river has some fairly limited heuristics to automatically float windows: https://github.com/riverwm/river/blob/f6cc4de8849154c344db7f224e7dc520a69cb020/river/XdgToplevel.zig#L269-L276

11:09 <ifreund> probably firefox or gtk should set the parent of the xdg_toplevel for the About Firefox dialog and similar to be the main firefox window

11:12 <vyivel> last time i checked gtk did this funny thing where it sets the xdg_toplevel parent only after focus change

11:13 <vyivel> hm techinically "about firefox" isn't a dialog so it doesn't set parent at all

11:31 <nmeum> I mainly noticed this because the noscript pop-up (spawned from the right-click context menu in firefox) is not floating, though I am not sure if that is a dialog (it is floating on dwm though). thanks for the pointer to the source code, i will try to further investigate this later :)
