After changing the display dimensions using XRandR, the display dimensions from Firefox startup are still used for placing menus, causing them to show up off-screen or needlessly small/relocated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change screen dimensions using XRandR
2. Pop up a menu near the old or new screen edge
Actual Results:  
Menu placement should respect new screen dimensions

Expected Results:  
Menus are placed according to the old screen dimensions

Oops, I obviously switched the actual and expected results around.

This sounds like a dupe of bug 256646, which was fixed on trunk.

Dagfinn, can you try this in a trunk build and see if you can still reproduce it?
