I have had this same bug...but Have found doing the following to fix it..maybe it will help in finding the problem

when it happens I will bring up the Appearance Preferences box go to the Visual Effects and click the

None: Provides a simple desktop environment without any effects.

Once this is done the menus pop back up and then I will set it back to Extra and reset up compiz and all is good

reason of this happing.

Unknow. Dont know how to cause it....seems to happen randomly

[grolma (pdcooper)]

the options in visual effects are all grayed out .

its NBE if that is relevant

[grolma (pdcooper)]

this is now a serious problem. I have an unusable system.I can get the bottons in FF by pressing F11 ( full screen) and then F11 again and they appear at the top of the browser and work. But i have no buttons on office apps ,Eclipse PDT IDE , Midori browser, F-spot.

On addition the panel disappears if hidden and doesn't come back when unhidden.Im going to have to nuke this soon and start again as its a machine I use fairly regularly.

Not a Firefox issue, needs reassignment.
