Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
It's an unimportant detail, but in every Ubuntu app if you press and keep the right-click button, then move AWAY from the spanning menu and release the button, the menu will disappear. Not in Firefox, it will stay until you right-click again.
Also, using certain themes like Clearlooks standard right-click menus show the first item highlighted when you right click, which is useful because you don't even have to reach the touchpad to select it. you just press the right button, hold for a sec and then let go, and the first menu item is selected. Not in Firefox, you actually have to move the cursor.
Hope I made it clear. Unimportant stuff as I said, but it's there anyway.

This is very similar to what happens with applets and some other elements. In
the case of applets, I seem to remember a bug in the database where alt-click or
right-click would incorrectly pull up a context menu, and it would not be
dismissed if you clicked elsewhere in the applet window. (I've seen it, but
didn't re-report it.)
I've looked for those old bugs and can't find them, but I'm fairly sure they're
related. [The same flaw is visible with applets in win32 2004031616]
