[Bug]: 'When you open a link, image, or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately' Option Doesn't Work When Disabled.

Pre-Submission Checklist

• I have checked the existing/closed issues to ensure this issue has not already been reported.
• I am using the latest supported version of the browser.
• I have tried disabling all browser extensions/add-ons to rule out interference from these.
• I have tried clearing the browser cache and cookies.
• I have tried to create a new profile and the issue still occurs.
• I have provided detailed step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the issue.
• I have included relevant screenshots or console outputs.
• I have checked this problem is not ocurring in the latest version of Firefox ESR.
• This issue is specific to this browser and does not occur in other browsers.

Bug Summary

I tested this on a newly installed Midori 11.3.2 on both PCs that I own. The issue is present on both machines. I didn't touch any options, I just went straight to demonstrate the bug right after the browser was launched.

The 'When you open a link, image, or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately' option is off by default, and I prefer it that way. However, this doesn't work because when I open a link in a new tab, whether by right-clicking using the context menu or the middle mouse button, it still automatically takes me to the new tab when it shouldn't.

This doesn't happen on mainstream Firefox or other forks that I've used (Waterfox and LibreWolf).

Reproduction Steps

1. Make sure the 'When you open a link, image, or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately' option is off. It should already be by default.
2. Open a link in a new tab, either through a context menu or the middle mouse button.
3. Observe the link being opened in a new tab.

Expected Behavior

I should stay on the tab where I opened a link in a new tab from.

Actual Behavior

I got automatically switched to a new tab after opening a link.

Bug Summary

Video recorded today 04/08/2024, in the same video I show that I am using version 11.3.0 (64-bit) of the Midori web browser, due to the previously open forum #71 on Ponchale's recommendation I have used the spoof option the browser's user agent, however, is still not working, when I go to the deviceinfo.me website it keeps showing me that I am using the Firefox web browser, as Ponchale told me previously in another forum #65 he had been doing tested with this option and did not have any problems, therefore, I do not know why this is happening to me in particular, I do not know if it is some internal error in my computer or what

PS: The good part is that I have also checked if the user.js options work that I had previously opened a thread talking specifically about it #64 and it seems that they have indeed fixed that problem

Reproduction Steps

Go to Settings
General
User Agent
Select any of the user agent options
Go to deviceinfo.me/ on this web page you can see that the configurations have not been applied

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior in the Browser section of deviceinfo.me appears that I am using any of the other previously selected user agents instead of Firefox

Actual Behavior

When I try to spoof the web browser user agent I can't do it

Can't set other language than english[Bug]

Attention!

• I undertand that Midori is NOT supported on Windows 7/8.1 or lower.

Describe the bug

After having installed Midori from official website (and later also from Uptodown.com) on Windows 10 64bit, the whole interface remains in english language. I tried several times to set it to german or italian or french, without any change.
Same browser installed in Linux Mint immediately is displayed in german, without having to change it from english to german.
In the uninstall procedure on Windows I found it is an en-us version.
However, nowwhere I can get a german version (for Windows) when downloading.

To Reproduce

1. Open settings
2. Click on "General"
3. Scroll to "Language"
4. Set "German"
5. Restart browser
6. Still english interface

Expected behavior

At least after restart it should be a german interface.

[Bug] Issue with Spoof User Agent option and user.js options

Attention!

• I undertand that Midori is NOT supported on Windows 7/8.1 or lower.

Describe the bug

Hello, good afternoon, my name is Facundo, I recently installed the Midori web browser to test it, and I have seen that it has some errors, the options to fake the user agent do not work (I show it in the video) as well as the user.js options do not work either (in the video I also show it) likewise I ask to completely ignore the user interface, I applied a CSS theme called floorp one which was created by the user Godiesc on Github, I did this in the particular thing so that my user interface looked aesthetically more beautiful, essentially I wanted to make known these 2 problems that have arisen in the browser, the one of user agent forgery and the other of user.js on my own account I have forced to look for the arkenfox user.js file and apply it to Midori so that it has some kind of protection

To Reproduce

Go to Spoof User Agent options in the general tab, select any user agent, and go to a web page like deviceinfo.me where it tells you what your user agent is
Go to performance options in the general tab, go to user.js options, select any user agent, go to the profile folder you are using, open it in file explorer, open the user.js file and check that it doesn't say anything like: "404 Error Not Found"

Expected behavior

It is expected that the Spoof User Agent options will work and the user agent can actually be spoofed, it is expected that the user.js list will be updated (because the ones that currently exist have been deleted from the official repository a long time ago)

When setting tab bar to appear at the bottom of the window, the menu bar gets also put there...

Attention!

• I undertand that Midori is NOT supported on Windows 7/8.1 or lower.

Describe the bug

When setting tab bar to appear at the bottom of the window, the menu bar gets also put there.
In my book, that's a bug, not a feature.

To Reproduce

1. Right-click on tab bar and enable menu bar
2. Go to Settings / Preferences -> Design -> Tab Bar and choose "Display Tab Bar at the bottom of the window".
3. Watch the menu bar move to the bottom along with the tab bar.

Expected behavior

The menu bar should always be at the top of the window. At the very least it should not be tied to the tab bar and move along with it to the bottom of the window just the tab bar is set this way.

Check out waterfox how they did it. That's how I expect the tab bar and the menu bar being independent of each other.

[Bug] Dependencies missing for debian 10 and ubuntu 20.04

Describe the bug

when installing on Debian 10 (buster) I get this error:

root@479742c3b00c:/home/test# apt install ./midori_11.0.0_amd64.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'midori' instead of './midori_11.0.0_amd64.deb'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
midori : Depends: libffi8 but it is not installable
Depends: libgcc-s1 but it is not installable
Depends: libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 but it is not installable
Depends: libvpx7 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

versions older than ubuntu 22.04 and debian 12 (bookworm) might have the same issue since the package libffi8 is only available from these versions

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libffi8
https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/libffi8

there is a package
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libffi7 --> only debian 11
https://packages.debian.org/buster/libffi6 --> only debian 10
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libffi7 --> ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04

maybe using the package depending on the version of the OS might be a solution.

I did not check the other packages

• I undertand that Midori is NOT supported on Windows 7/8.1 or lower.

Describe the bug

When I access the official website of the Midori web browser and I want to view the "About US" section in Spanish, I cannot do so. Additionally, when I click on the "About US" button at the top I am redirected to the home page, in order to go to the "About US" section I am forced to scroll down completely and click on the "About US" at the bottom since the one at the top does not work well

To Reproduce

Click on the button to change language to Spanish located at the top right, then click on "About US" at the top of the page in the center, you will see that this hyperlink does not work correctly, since you are redirected to the home page, scroll down all the way and click on "About US" below to access said section, you will see that you cannot view it in Spanish

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is that the "About US" button at the top in the center works without redirecting you to the home page, without having to scroll down completely to access the "About US" section. Another expected behavior is be able to view the "About US" section in Spanish
