User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0
Steps to reproduce:
Open either one of these:
- Search bar dropdown MRU list
- The dropdown menu of any plugin button on the toolbar
- A bookmark folder item shown on the Bookmarks toolbar
Wait for at max 10s.
Actual results:
The Dropdown menu closes automatically. The closing happens precisely every 10 seconds. This means that depending on when the menu was opened it may stay open for anything between 0 to 10s. The 10s timer does not depend on when the menu is opened. It happens every 10s. This means that if I start a timer at the time of such an auto-close event, and watch the elapsed time, another dropdown opened at e.g. 9.5s after the previous close will be closed in 0.5s. It happens every 10s exactly. (Within the precision of my ability to measure it manually.)
Expected results:
The opened menus should stay opened until I click outside or conclude with choosing an element in the drop-down. Regarding add-on menus, the closing behaviour should depend on the add-on. This is especially important, as some add-ons let and expect me to type in their popup window. When the popup is closed every 10s, whatever I was typing is lost.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

It affects every dropdown that is part of the main window*, not just bookmarks, but the search bar MRU list (I'm using separate search bar) and the dropdown-popover add-on windows opened from toolbar buttons. The "Bookmarks & History" category may be too narrow for this behaviour.
*: I'm on macOS, so there is a bookmarks, history etc menu also that is part of the OS provided top menu bar. Those menus are not affected.

Hi @Bence Im tryn to reproduce this issue on our side on both Mac Os 11 as well as Windows 10 and the pop up menus stay open for me until I click something else, could you please try starting Firefox in safe mode ? maybe one of the addons is causing this issue.
Also does it happen in Chrome ? or if you dont mind could please try our latest Firefox Nightly and see if the issue still occurs there as well ?
Here is how you can start Firefox in safe mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
And here you can find our latest Nightly build: https://nightly.mozilla.org/

Yeah, it was some kind of a temporary fluke. Resolved itself after a while and never came back. Thanks for looking into it!
