Title:
  after trying to start firefox from quicklaunch icon, left-side menus
  stop working/freeze/don't open

Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  Version: 8.10

  apt-cache policy gnome-panel
  gnome-panel:
    Installed: 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2.1
    Candidate: 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2.1
    Version table:

  Expectation: Menu and quick-launch icons continue to work

  Instead:

  Seems similar to many other panel errors out there, but existing bugs
  don't match mine exactly...

  I was using dual monitors with non-binary/propietary drivers, then
  switched to nvidia for my dual monitors.

  Since then, if I click the firefox quick-launch icon on the top bar,
  firefox doesn't launch, and the Applications / Places / System menus
  stop working. However, the Power Down, Network Connectivity, and Sound
  options on the right hand side still work.

  I am able to open firefox by clicking on a desktop .html link after
  the menus stops working.
