Sorry, but I can't think of much to add.  When I click on file, it opens a new window instead of opening the drop-down menu; and when I click on history, it goes back to the previous page instead of opening the drop-down menu.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Click on file/history.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
It opens a new window/goes back to the previous page.

Expected Results:  
It should have opened the respective drop-down menus.

Did you already tried the Firefox safemode ?

Sounds related to bug 406646.

Sorry, I hadn't tried safe mode, I didn't know it existed; but it does sound related to bug 406646.  (I did search the fora beforehand, but I must have used the wrong keywords - maybe I included drop-down menu but didn't include pop-up widgets.)  Nonetheless, it can't be a heavy bookmarks list that's causing it, because my file and history menus are the same as everybody else's.

Maybe that helps them?  If *their* problem is the same as *this* one, their bookmarks list isn't the problem...

comment#1 should be read as "did you already tried the safemode and if not, does it make a difference if you do it now ?"
