Actually, I've just reproduced the issue on an Android 6 device also: Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (Android 6.0.1).

Reproducible also on Huawei Honor (Android 5.1.1).

[Eugen Sawin [:esawin]]

That's a regression from bug bug 1424252, about:downloads still uses <menu> and so do a few other mobile pages, like  about:addons.

We'll need to back it out until all mobile pages are rewritten without using <menu>.
