[Bug 1164953] [NEW] Pop-up menus stop working after a while

[Stephan Diestelhorst]

Public bug reported:

After surfing for a while, the pop-up menus from clicking on extension
icons in the icon bar and right-click menus do not open anymore.  When I
click on such an icon or want to open the right-click context menu, only
an empty frame is briefly drawn on screen but immediatly disappears,
again.

I could NOT reproduce with identical upstream Aurora builds, so I
presume it is something special to the Ubuntu Aurora builds, see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=840378

Uninstalling the globalmenu extension (and also running with all
extensions disabled) still causes the issue to happen. but also has the
menu of firefox still integrated into my KDE menu (behind a button in
the title bar).  Popups in other applications (also GTK) are not
affected.
