Bug Description
This is something which used to happen regularly though not always (I switched to using fallback mode for a while because of it). Basically, drop-down menus in Firefox such as RSS feeds (or in Natty without the global menu the normal application menus were affected too) are simply not shown when clicked on. Context menus also fail to appear. This often disappeared for no apparent reason after I had used Firefox for a while. I haven't seen it for a while, but it has just re-appeared, possibly because I started Unity as "unity --replace" since I am currently testing an application's behaviour with different window managers.
I'm sorry if this information is a bit threadbare. Please let me know if I can provide any additional helpful information.

This also prevents auto-completion drop-downs from appearing. Note - my Unity just crashed, and after I restarted it the problem was gone again.
