Falcon web browser

This morning I saw a list on browsers on greasyfork.org/en
Qupzilla: (no additional software required).
Looks like QupZilla was renamed Falcon ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkon

When I installed the Falcon web browser.
I notice that I was not able to click on the top tab (Play, Learn, Watch, Community, Tools) on Lichess home page, but the rest of the site including playing games seemed to work fine.

Looks like ... OpenMandriva uses Falkon as the default browser instead of Firefox.
distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20190701

I don't have OpenMandriva installed, I use MX linux.
I installed it, using the Flatpak Nightly builds : www.falkon.org/download/

@thibault Is there a fix possible, so that this Falcon browser can be used to play on Lichess and get access to the top home page tabs?
If I place my mouse over the top tabs (Play, Learn, Watch, Community, Tools) and then use my keboard arrows to lower my web page, the mouse highlights whats under those tabs and I'm able to click on them.
So it seems it's not missing much to get them to work.

If I jerk my mouse quickly enough downwards, I'm able to hilght what's under the top tabs and click on them.

If I wait over the tabs (Play, Learn, Watch, Community, Tools) and then move the mouse quickly down I am able to access the rest.

But I am not able to click on the top tab menus (Play, Learn, Watch, Community, Tools)
What's different about the top menus tabs (Play, Learn, Watch, Community, Tools) compared to the tabs in the middle of the home page called Quick pairing, Lobby and Correspondence. Cause those work fine.

Is it a bug on Lichess?
Apparently it uses QtWebEngine, which is extremely rare. I can't quite be bothered to support it, so if OpenMandriva users can install Firefox or Chromium - and I'm sure they can - that will have to do for now.
First of all,why u use the falcon browser?Its less non-spyware for example than pale moon which i think is the best browser right now and completely not spyware if u know how to adjust it
Secondly the problem u have with ur mouse is because of an installed add-on u use on regular basis.I guess u use a user-agent add-on to resist fingerprinting which imo is completely useless comparing to other add-ons nowadays and they also are responsible for browser crashes
It's a fresh install and I installed it because OpenMandriva uses it. I don't know what you are talking about finger printing ...

Anyways ...

When I hover my mouse over my user name, I can click on it and get to the rest of the menu.
When I hover over the word Learn, a menu unfolds but does disapears when I move down the list to click on something in the same way I would use the top right user name menu to access the other menus. So the menus in the header are not behaving or coded the same way.

The user tag name menu by clicking on it the div class="dasher shown"> and so we can then click on language.

Why doesn't the other menus like the "Learn" tab behave the same way?

Well by inspecting the element it is <nav id="topnav" class="hover">

It's as if there was no active ID for Play, Learn, Watch, Community, Tools.
I can Hover ove rthe names and see the rest, but for some reason, it's not easy to click on it like the user name is.

Maybe something to send to:
bugs.kde.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Falkon
fingerprinting has to do with security issues but ok forget about it for now.I insist that the crazy mouse hover happens because of ur addons.Which addons(extensions) u use along with falcon browser mate?
Extensions:
GreaseMonkey Scripts Installed
AD Block is active

Scripts:
Chess courtesy 0.2 is active

I turned off my computer and when I was back on the net, I was still logged into Lichess.
If I open firefox, I'm not logged in. Doesn't it work on IP address logged in?

I went to preferences extentions and turned both off.
Turned off the Brwsers.
Restarted the Broswr.
Situation is not with extentions. No extension installed.

Checking mouse configurations....

1.you were still logged in cuz ur browser remembers ur history so that the lichess cookies were still alive when u got back in
2.chess courtesy is unnecessary and maybe this causes the problem with mouse hovering on lichess.Uninstall it
3.I suppose ur firefox doesnt remember history.This is ur difference with Falcon.Of course u can change these settings from preferences
Went to Tools, cookies manager: I removes all cookies. Disabled cookies, Enabled cookie filtering, Delete cookies on close.

Well I change my mouse configuration on my OS.

But this browser keeps giving me a black mouse and Firefox my white mouse.
Can't change the way the mouse appears or points with a tiny hand in this Falcon browser.
Deleting everything on close....
Well now no more chess pieces on home page... created new profile. Turned off the browser and back on. Pieces are back, but so is the default settings like AD blocker enabled.

Even changing the zoom, you have to turn the browser off and back on to make the change visible.

If it wasn't for that mouse jump to get from the top tabs called Play ... to the next boxed list like Tournament ... the browser would be useful for me. It's like there is not connection between Play, Learn, Watch, Community, Tools and their list below them. The Play, Learn, Watch, Community, Tools is in one box and we can see the rest below it but as soon as we leave Play, Learn, Watch, Community or Tools to go down to the list below it. The mouse movement must be faster than the time it take for the list to disappear.

It' like the Lichess top scroll-able menu is not contained with the listed menu.
