(Get the code!)
I've started holding down the button and choose menu items by releasing it to work around this. Actually, it's quite nice to do it that way.
Still, I think it would be good if a delay was introduced before releasing the mouse button can choose menu items.
Does firefox use Gtk menus or does it use it's own?
The problem exists in a lot of other Gnome programs which also display the menu on mousedown. IMO it should be fixed in the menus themselves. As menus will popup in different directions depending on where on the screen you click you need time to look at the menu before selecting something. A short delay shouldn't have any bad side effects.
