Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

I am running a preinstalled instance of Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 on a Lenovo Ideapad S10 purchased from Linux Emporium.

Situation - I leave the computer alone to do something else - Firefox is running.
I come back, wake the computer from sleep by waggling the mouse or hitting a shift key...
I attempt to open the address bar dropdown list./menu/whatever - expecting to see the populated list of frequently-accessed sites... this doesn't happen. Instead, the keyboard focus is locked ont he address bar.. even to the extent that autocomplete doesn't happen.

What SHOULD happen is that the drop down should work.

Firefox version is 3.5.9 - as supplied as standard with Ubuntu.
Ubuntu version - UNR 9.10 with all updates prior to 17 May 2010 (I prefer to wait a week after packages arrive in Update Manager before acceptance.. just in case any of them break my computer).

Please fix asap.
