AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a persistent issue with the "Bookmark and Share" button in Firefox and other browsers, where the dropdown menu sometimes fails to close when the mouse pointer moves away. Users report that this problem is particularly annoying as it obstructs their view of posts and interferes with navigation, especially when trying to access quick links. The issue appears to be intermittent, with some users unable to replicate it consistently. Suggestions for resolving the annoyance include making the share button require a click instead of a hover to activate, which would prevent the dropdown from appearing unintentionally. Some users have found temporary workarounds, such as using browser extensions like Adblock or NoScript to block the dropdown functionality altogether. However, there is a consensus that the ideal solution would maintain the share button while eliminating the hover-triggered dropdown issue.

The ideal solution is keep the share button there, but not have it occasionally stick open when the mouse accidentally passes by it.
Maybe make it a good old-fashioned button that you have to click if you want it to do something, instead of auto-opening a menu whenever the mouse strays near...

Yes it is. As it was over a month ago when I first proposed it. :smile:
