1005108 - OS X nightly: click on ghostery button makes all but one menu unclickable

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[clements]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140502030202

Steps to reproduce:

- start OS X Firefox Nightly (32.0a1 (2014-05-02)) with ghostery 5.2.1 installed
- click on ghostery icon, see box open as expected
- click outside box to make box disappear
- now, click and hold on "History" menu (for example)


Actual results:

- history menu does not appear. None of the menus appear when clicked, *except* the "apple" and "Nightly" menus in the top left corner.


Expected results:

Menu should have appeared under "History" label.

Problem can be resolved by quitting and restarting firefox. In general, it seems to me that this is not something that an add-on should be able to do, which is why I'm submitting this as a Firefox bug rather than a Ghostery bug.

This is still likely to be a ghostery issue. See also bug 1005050.

Are there any errors in the browser console when this happens?

I'm assuming you're referring to the '-jsconsole' cmd-line arg?

I ran again with this enabled.

On clicking the ghostery button, I got these two lines:

- value is not a non-null object browser.js:14799
- docShell.QueryInterface(...).sessionHistory is null content-sessionStore.js:228

On dismissing the window, I got this message:

- Empty string passed to getElementById().

Does this confirm your suspicion that this is a ghostery bug?

Many thanks for your fast response!
