[Bug 1921588] [NEW] Firefox doesn't support HUD

[Ads20000]

Public bug reported:

Currently, Firefox doesn't support HUD ( `mate-hud`, I assume Unity's
HUD is also affected as per https://ubuntuunity.org/2020/06/05/hud-
globalmenu-firefox/ ), as Martin Wimpress said in his Wimpy's World
Discord server 27/03/2021 15:12 UTC 'Some apps are removing support for
ModelMenu. That used to be a patch that Canonical contributed to
Firefox, which is long since dropped.'

Filing this bug as maybe a community member would want to re-introduce
this patch. But if this is a Won't Fix please mark it as such, just
wanted to get the issue logged as I can't find it elsewhere on
Launchpad.
