it also appears with KDE’s plasma-widget-menubar: as soon as the menu it operated the first time after restarting firefox, all popups break in the described way (only flickering into view once instead of staying open).
makes using bookmarks almost impossible as you have to go over the menu, and, since middle click in the dbus menu doesn’t work, you also have to open a new tab beforehand if you want the bookmark in a new tab. pretty annoying :/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020198 Title: Drop downs, drag-and-drop and right click menus don't work with Mozilla ff/tb 14.0 Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity-2d” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “unity-2d” source package in Natty: Won't Fix Bug description: This bug is similar to bug 1016386, which was recently fixed for thunderbird 13.0.1. When testing the latest Mozilla betas from the mozillateam/firefox-next and mozillateam/thunderbird-next PPAs, I noticed that firefox and thunderbird 14.0 have a similar problem. I believe this is specific to unity-2d in Natty. I cannot reproduce it in the default Natty fallback (Ubuntu Classic) when unity-2d is not installed. Thunderbird drop down menu test case: 1. Launch thunderbird from the Unity launcher 2. Edit -> Account Settings 3. Click on account actions, it should show a drop down of choices, but doesn't Firefox drop down menu test case: 1. Launch firefox from the Unity launcher 2. Edit -> Preferences 3. Click the "When Firefox starts" drop down. It should show several choice but doesn't. NOTE: Only after triggering the drop down menu bugs, will the following test cases fail. Firefox drag and drop test case: 1. Launch firefox from the Unity launcher 2. Enable the bookmarks toolbar: View -> Toolbars -> Bookmarks Toolbar 3. Now attempt to drag the globe from the left side of the URL box into the bookmarks toolbar area. It should add the URL as a bookmark and create an icon but doesn't. Firefox right click test case: 1. Launch firefox from the Unity launcher 2. Try right clicking (on a link or in a dead area). The right click menu doesn't display.
