Bug Description

1. Version/environment information
Mint 17.1 Rebecca 64-bit, Cinnamon edition
Firefox (package version 46.0+linuxmint1+rosa)
Two monitors

2. Observed behavior
The Firefox address bar/awesomebar autocomplete results detach from the address bar, rendering elsewhere on the screen, sometimes outside of the Firefox window entirely, or on a different monitor.

3. Expected behavior
The autocomplete results should be attached to the Firefox window directly beneath the address bar.

4. Reproduction
- Open Firefox.
- Move and resize the Firefox window.
- Click the awesomebar down-arrow to open it, or begin typing in the address bar.
- Note the awesomebar results are not correctly located.

It happens every time, as far as I've noticed. Sometimes it takes slightly longer, but it's reliable. This began happening after the most recent Firefox package update a few days ago.

This also occurs in the non-Mint Firefox 48 beta, although it seems to be harder to trigger.

I believe this bug was introduced in the Cinnamon update I installed on 4.16.16, going from 2.4.6 to 2.4.8.
