All firefox popup menus are not displaying after a system suspend, until the window is re-focused.

[bobemoe]

Always reporducable, on all 4 of my seperate installs of Xubuntu 14.04
 3 Laptops (2 fresh, 1 upgraded from 13.04) and 1 VirtualBox fresh - all fully updated.

How to reporduce:
 1. Open firefox and make sure the window has focus.
 2. Suspend and resume the computer.
 3. Click the firefox menu button OR url/search dropdown OR bookmark bar folder OR right click a link/image etc.

Expected results:
 A popup menu is displayed.

Actual results:
 No menu is displayed.

Workaround:
 Minimising and then restoring the window or changing focus to another window allows the menus to work correctly again.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I get this exactly as described. After suspend, I get all popup boxes including settings and right-click action popup appear and very quickly disappear. After minimising and restoring firefox, it works as normal.

Looking around, lots of people report similar problems, but this report most accurately describes the problem.

I get this problem with all Firefox extensions disabled, so I do not think it's extension/add-on related

Using Firefox 44.02 on Ubuntu 14.04 on IBM Thinkpad T400, fully patched as at this date, with Gnome Failback/Fallback as window manager. I think it may be related to window managers other than the Ubuntu default window manager.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-life on April 25,2019.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
