From the original report

CleanApp AI summary
COSMIC Frosted Glass Theme Obscured by Client-Side Window Decorations: After upgrading to COSMIC and Pop!_OS 24, the frosted glass desktop theme is scarcely visible because third-party applications like Firefox draw their own window chrome without native transparency support.
Report counts are not affected-user counts. A closed original issue does not confirm a fix.
