firefox and thunderbird don't show dropdown menu after upgrading

[tambosco riccardo]

After upgrades reported below, both thunderbird and firefox present some problems involving dropdown menu but only when they are run by the launcher in desktop sidebar. If I run them by terminal or if I create a new icon-launcher for both programs they don't show any problem; when I put the brand-new launcher icon on the sidebar it opens fully functional programs but after a reboot the bug is there again. However the launchers that are away from sidebar opens properly working versions of thunderbird and firefox and also terminal command does it. I noticed same problem on two different machine running both ubuntu 11.04.

An example of type of problems that I notice is that firefox doesn't show suggestions of the awesome bar that normally appear in a dropdown menu.

Upgrades probably involved are:

 thunderbird-globalmenu:i386 (12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1), thunderbird:i386 (12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1), firefox-globalmenu:i386 (12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1), firefox:i386 (12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1), flashplugin-installer:i386 (11.2.202.235ubuntu0.11.04.1, 11.2.202.236ubuntu0.11.04.1), firefox-gnome-support:i386 (12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1), firefox-locale-en:i386 (12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1), firefox-locale-it:i386 (12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1), firefox-branding:i386 (12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, 13.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.04.1)

I hope to have reported all information that are necessary and to have made myself clear.
Thank you for your attention.
