Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure your bookmarks toolbar contains a folder with 3+ items.
2. Make sure you have multiple tabs open.
3. Click the folder.
4. Slowly move the cursor down to the third item.
5. Click the third item.

Result: the second item opens.  (Also notice that the hovered-menu-item highlighting goes away as soon as you cross the bottom of the tab strip that's underneath the menu.)

This seems to be a general bug with "popup menus".  I see cursors acting as if <select> dropdowns and the address bar autocomplete dropdown are transparent to mouse events.  For example, if I click the <select> on http://www.squarefree.com/start/ and move the cursor around inside it, the cursor changes into a "hand" when it's over part of the menu that covers a link.

Is this a mac only? Linux works fine.
Reminds me a bit of bug 291507. That one was fixed by bug 297561. Maybe useful to know.
WFM.  I can't reproduce this in 2007-06-17, 2007- 06-24, 2007- 06-29, or a more recent debug build.
