Been very annoyed at this for a while, finally decided to investigate what it was - couldn't use HUD at all and no update has fixed this. Been broken for some weeks at least? I have two Ubuntu laptops and Firefox synced between both - both are affected by this bug.

To be honest, I don't understand why this is a duplicate of #1035305. This one is clearly caused by global menu integration. It doesn't affect me after removing that. I have Firebug and it has not caused me any problems. To me these seem very different - or is there a reason why these are duplicates?
