All my Add-ons that have an icon on the toolbar display an empty meny when I click on the icon. I am on the latest inbound release which should have all the Webrender fixes to date.

FYI... WR is much more responsive now. It's almost usuable except for this menu problem and ocasional hangs.

Was this always broken, or is it a recent regression? If it's a regression, can you use mozregression to find the regression window?

The problem with using mozregression, as far as my experience with it, is that Fx keeps restarting in safe-mode in order to pinpoint the 'bad' version. However, this disables all add-ons so I won't have any add-on icons to test with. If I am wrong let me know.

It depends how you are running mozregression. If from the command line there are options to manage how it deals with profiles. Normally it will run with a clean profile every time, which is why you get the "safe mode" experience. But if you run with --profile-persistence=reuse it will reuse the same profile for each run. In your case I think the best would be to just pass -P <PATH> to point to your profile, and use the default of --profile-persistence=clone. This will make a clone of your current profile for each run. You might want to back up the profile before doing this, just in case it screws up.

For starters I went back to an August 1st version on inbound and had the same problem.

I'm trying to get someone who is great at finding regressions.
I found a similar bug here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1390741 Can you try setting extensions.webextensions.remote to false and see if that changes it?

Yes, setting it to false does fix the problem. Besides displaying the menus again is their any other affect setting it to false? Can I leave it as false if I disable WR if WR gives me troubles?

Can I leave it as > false if I disable WR if WR gives me troubles? I believe it changes which process the webextension stuff runs in. In general you want that pref to be whatever the default value is. For now running with it false is probably ok, but that will likely be deprecated after a few releases as we get the feature working properly everywhere. That being said I'm going to dupe this to bug 1390741 which seems to be basically the same thing (sorry I should have remembered that one instead of asking for a regression window).
