289277 - menus are present but do not work when a non-browser window has focus

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 239218

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Andrew Wils]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050405 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050405 Firefox/1.0+

The Firefox top-menubar only works when 
a) no window is openend
b) a browser window has focus
So if a non-modal window has focus (e.g. downloads, help), the menubar is still
present, but it does not respond to clicks. 

A typical unwanted situation is when a user closed all browser windows, and
wants to create a new one. This is simply not possible if e.g. the downloads
window is still open. 
Closing all non-browser windows re-enables the menus.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open firefox
2.open the downloads window
3.while the downloads window has focus, try to open a new browser window (e.g.
by clicking File - New Window)

Actual Results:  
The File menu remains colored, but nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Opened a new browser window.
