User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. set widget.macos.native-context-menus = true on Firefox 89.0b15
  2. Open the Browser Toolbox
  3. Enable the "Disable Popup Autohide" option
  4. Right click on any part of the browser content area or browser Chrome to display a context menu

Actual results:

the context menu should remain visbile when switching focus to a different window (i.e. the Browser Toolbox window)

Expected results:

the context menu disappears like it normally would with this option disabled

This behavior cannot be supported with native context menus. As a workaround, you can set widget.macos.native-context-menus to false.

To improve this experience, we could automatically turn off native context menus while we're in "Disable Popup Autohide" mode.
