Bug Description

Using the bookmarks menu in Firefox, when going to a nested bookmark (3 deep) the menu always opens partly off the right edge of my screen, but only on the first time the menu is displayed. If the menu is closed and then reopened, it appears to the left of the previous menu so will be visible.

Details: Menus are displayed in the application window title bar. Firefox is not full screen, and displayed on the right half of my monitor. Each level of bookmark menus opens to the right of the previous, and the third level is only just visible with most of the text off the right edge of the screen.

What should happen: when the menu is opened the 2nd time, it's fine, it's on the screen to the left of the previous menu. The same thing should happen the first time its opened.
