I have verified this issue on the latest Firefox Nightly 144.0a1 (Build ID: 20250901094023) and Beta 143.0b7 (Build ID: 20250901090535) on Windows 11, macOS 15.3, and Ubuntu 24.04 x64.

• The ... market menu is visible and focused.

However, we noticed that on Linux, the focus effect is not displayed when focusing the menu with the keyboard and having the System theme enabled. We filed Bug 1986333 to track this behavior.
