Bug Description
For anyone looking into fixing this: see comment#4
Symptom:
With the Global Menu Integration enabled, sometimes drop down and context menus inside Firefox will stop working. They show up for a moment and immediately disappear. This includes context menus of tab buttons and web pages, and drop down menus opened from toolbar buttons. The problem lasts until Firefox is restarted.
To reproduce:
With Global Menu Integration enabled, toggle the Navigation toolbar (View - Toolbars - Navigation Toolbar).
This is one way I've found that always reproduces the problem. Whether the toolbar was toggled on or off, it triggers the problem for me. It happens even when this is the only enabled extension, and does not happen when it is disabled.
Sometimes the problem also seems to be triggered by opening a new tab but I haven't found a pattern in that.
Environment:
Firefox 14.0.1
Global Menu Integration 3.2.6 package at https:/
KDE 4.9.00
Arch Linux

Same problem here. It also happens in Thunderbird.
Furthermore, when the popup menus don't work, also drag-and-drop doesn't work anymore. So tabs cannot be reordered, etc.
The bug appears almost always in less than 15 minutes when I'm using Firefox or Thunderbird. I never hide any toolbar, so indeed there also must be some other reason.
