Very strange. Here works fine. Try to start firefox in a shell then look on the shell if there's some error messages.

In fact, the bug is slightly different than what I thought:

in Desktop 1
Open Firefox, open two tabs
do File-Quit but do not answer to the confirm dialog box (forget it)

in Destop 2:
Open a new Firefox window
If you chose File/Quit, nothing seems to happen
(in fact, a second hidden confirm dialog box appears in the background of Desktop 1 instead of appearing on top of Desktop 2)

This is why the File/Quit menu seemed unresponsive.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

This wont get fixed in Firefox-2 as only security, and very ergent bugs will be fixed.
Most likely your issue was due to a corrupt profile. To test please see instructions at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs
If in Firefox-3.0 you see this issue please make sure you try witha new profile before reporting and if you have to report it or want to report it please use Help > Report a problem from Firefox menus
