Worksforme with today's builds on linux and win2K. Did you install to a clean
directory and remove your old profile as recommended in the release notes?

I saw this problem too. After moving the whole profile directory the problem
disappears. (Of course I then had to copy over the old bookmarks file, cookies
file, prefs file, and re-customize the toolbars... blah.)

Yes, following the instructions in the release notes fixes this. Not a bug.

I'm seeing this bug on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a)
Gecko/20040510 Firefox/0.8.0+ with a clean profile. Today's Win32 build works fine.

Steps to Repro:
1a. View | Toolbars | Customize
-or-
1b. Right-click on a toolbar, Customize.
2. Do something (or nothing).
3. Press Done.

Expected Results:
Menus should work okay.

Actual Results:
Menus are disabled until browser is restarted.

I have a feeling this *may* have the same root cause as bug 243210, but I'm not
sure on that.

Going to close this and file a new bug instead, since the cause is different.

I've filed bug 243262 to address the new regression.
