Bug Description

When I access a website that opens another window, the title 'Firefox Web Browser' is not completely removed when I go to the top line of the display with my mouse. The options 'File Edit View...' appear, but the word 'Firefox' remains and obscures the window close/maximise/minimise buttons, making it impossible to close Firefox (although a workaround is to right click on the Firefox launcher and select Quit). The same thing occurs when I have several tabs open (as I do at the moment completing this report). I believe that this is a new 'feature' of 14.04 LTS - I did not observe this problem in 13.10.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and here's the apt-cache policy output:
