@Andres and Sean: Most excellent, thanks. :)  So, the disappearing menu
issue is then not likely due to upgrade issues.

@Andres: I agree, I think that Compiz is definitely implicated.  That
this problem only occurs with Mozilla apps -- as far as anyone has
reported -- seems to narrow it down to at least a Compiz-Mozilla
interaction.

I'm beginning to wonder, since the compositing manager seems clearly
implicated, if the problem might be related to (a) themes (doubt it,
tho') or perhaps (b) transparent menus (which I have enabled with Ubuntu
Tweak).  I've disabled the latter and will report back if perhaps that
corrects the problem.

Perhaps someone has never enabled transparent windows and/or only used
default themes and yet still has the problem?

Title:
  When Firefox is running in Unity, drop-down menus sometime close when
  opened

Bug description:
  This is something which used to happen regularly though not always (I
  switched to using fallback mode for a while because of it).
  Basically, drop-down menus in Firefox such as RSS feeds (or in Natty
  without the global menu the normal application menus were affected
  too) are simply not shown when clicked on.  Context menus also fail to
  appear.  This often disappeared for no apparent reason after I had
  used Firefox for a while.  I haven't seen it for a while, but it has
  just re-appeared, possibly because I started Unity as "unity
  --replace" since I am currently testing an application's behaviour
  with different window managers.

  I'm sorry if this information is a bit threadbare.  Please let me know
  if I can provide any additional helpful information.
