Context menu actions do nothing

Post by davousseau »

I'm having difficulty with the icons on the dashboard. Several right-click actions seem not to work. Nothing happens when I click on it. See image attached. So I would like to know what these actions are supposed to do to determine if it is a bug or not? If it is, can someone tell me how to report it.

I'm using the latest version of Mint "Virginia" on a virtual machine.
Reference icon: Firefox Developer Edition.
Actions tried: Unnamed; Create a shortcut.

Thanks everyone!

I don't know what the dashboard is. If you open Nemo and right click on a txt file on the right side, is that the dashboard?
If so, select "Create a shortcut". After that do you see a link to that file with the same base name?

Concerning your first screenshot, the first icon should open a new Firefox Developer Edition window, the second icon should open a new private Firefox Developer Edition window.

Do you encounter the same bug when you add the regular edition of Firefox to the panel?

The dashboard is the main application bar at the bottom of the screen.

The normal Firefox icon does not react the same way. Indeed, the context menu works well. I guess the problem lies in my Firefox Developer Edition configuration.

BTW:
Welcome to this forum, davousseau!
Little hint:
You don't need to upload screenshots to thirdparty sites, but use the inbuild forum feature. You may select "Place inline" in some cases:

What happens when you right click and select Close?
