Yep, menu should close -> blocking+.

I tried investigating this, but I couldn't come up with a solution. I found multiple instances of node.localName == "menu" checks in places event handler code, and I suspect that may be causing a problem because the placespopup menupopups in the Firefox button menu are children of splitmenu nodes, not menu nodes.

Marco, do you have any thoughts on this?

This is not serious enough to block, because the workaround of clicking anywhere (after the drag is done) is easy and obvious.

The Firefox button is going to be removed in bug 863753.
