When Firefox is on a secondary monitor clicking on the menu title brings the
menu up on the primary monitor. 

If the second monitor is to the left of the main one the menu's y position is
correct, but its x position places the left side of the menu on the left side of
the primary monitor.

If the second monitor is to the right of the main one the menu's y position is
correct, but its x position places the right side of the menu on the right side
of the primary monitor.

If the second monitor is above of the main one the menu's x position is correct,
but its y position places the top side of the menu on the top side of the
primary monitor.

If the second monitor is above of the main one the menu's x position is correct,
but its y position places the bottom side of the menu on the bottom side of the
primary monitor.

This problem also occurs with the pull down for the addresses entry box

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:

After a reboot the problem disappears.

not on my windows 7 x64 sp1 machine. dragging onto the 3rd monitor for instance the first time always results in the window jumping back to the first monitor. maybe this is a video driver bug, maybe this is a windows bug, maybe this is an ff bug. I have 100 tabs.
I only seem to have problems with ff. tb works fine and so my my cmd shells. ff jerks around.
