Librewolf - raise window

Librewolf no longer respects my Window rules.
I have Window Actions set to: Activate and raise.
All windows beside Librewolf respect the setting.

If I am in another application and click on Librewolf it will not raise - unless I click the titlebar. If I click on the window it will also pass click on the window.

I installed
plasma-browser-integration
and
librewolf-extension-plasma-integration -but:

ps. I played around with Window settings and turned on “Ignore Window Geometry: Force” The window can still be dragged when it should lock. It seems Librewolf is missing some connection to the system.

How do I get Librewolf to abide by Activate and raise.

I see your on x11 have you been changing from wayland an x11 often? As the applications “normally” will have different names and require rules set up for both.

plasma integration is generally for thing like when audio is playing it shows in the system tray media player an such.

If you used the search, you might have found the solution I posted middle of last year:

Or you can create a symlink.

I used the search - to search for Activate and raise - which is my issue - not plasma-browser-integration.
I mentioned plasma-browser-integration in the hope that there may be a connection. nb. Integration is working fine despite the message in the screenshot.

As Elite said

It does not appear to be related and your post does not mention ‘Activate and raise’.

The issue persists.

I installed Mullvad - another Firefox based browser.
It too suffers from this issue!
Brave (Chromium based) is not affected.

No. I do not use Wayland.
