This menu is an HTML page with a color picker (<input type="color">).

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

It looks like the UI opened by the type="color" input is a separate window which is triggering the browserAction popup to be auto hidden, which is quite unfortunate but not a recent regression (e.g. the same happens with a file input).
