[Bug 1016913] [NEW] pull down tab, firefox takes over mouse focus

[drink]

Public bug reported:

If I pull down a tab (to open it out to a new window) then I never get
my mouse pointer back; it retains the pull-down pointer and I cannot use
it for anything. I can alt-tab to a terminal and kill firefox, though,
at which point it returns to normal.
