The eyedropper was changed to HTML in bug 1262439. The way the eyedropper is initialised has now changed, see https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/1a7579d0bf74#l2.35

I would recommend the SM team to use the devtools/client/menus.js module to create the developer menu. This would prevent bugs like this one from happening.
