Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
I have a dual-monitor setup using an NVIDIA 7600GT and proprietary drivers on TwinView mode.
I'm using Intrepid Ibex (8.10) with the latest updates as of Nov 7th.
When I have firefox on the right-side monitor, the menus, url history, textfield history, and tooltips all show up on the left-side monitor.
=======
TO REPRODUCE:
1. Have only a single monitor enabled.
2. Open firefox
3. Enable the secondary monitor.
4. Move the firefox window to the secondary monitor.
5. Open menus/tooltips/etc. They will show up on the primary monitor.
WORKAROUND:
To get around this, switch steps 2 and 3.
=======
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a screenshots of the menus/url history/textfield issues because they disappear when I click away from the browser (screenshot won't get taken unless I click away from the menu/history). But I was able to get a shot of a tooltip showing up incorrectly.

(It may be more obvious if you add a step 5, of adding more bookmarks to your
Bookmarks menu, and noting that they don't appear.)
