I think I may be encountering the same problem. I'm on Debian stable. This started happening a couple of versions of Debian ago, I think maybe since Stretch (Debian 9) but until a couple of days ago, I couldn't identify a page that was causing it, so I wasn't able to reproduce it predictably. I'll give my description of the problem so you can decide if it is the same.
After encountering certain documents, the menus stop working. That is they open but close so quickly that it opens as a flash if you can notice it opening at all. They are thus unusable. They don't remain visible long enough to be able to select anything from them.
As a Debian user, I have been using ESR releases of Firefox, but I also tested this with the most recent (92.0 64-bit) and it is the same. Sometimes it seems I must first close the tab that has the offending document in it before the menus starting wigging out. Other times, as soon as the document is opened, the menus refuse to stay open.
I have tried this in safe mode with a fresh profile and that doesn't fix anything.
This doesn't only happen with email, but that is the way I am describing because I haven't yet identified an offending web page.
I use neomutt, a text only curses-based mail client, to read my email. If people send something in html only format, the html document comes as an attachment to a multipart email. I have to view the list of attachments and select the html attachment which opens it up in Firefox via the magic of mailcap or mime.types or something like that.
So, to reproduce method 1:
1-receive an email with an appropriate html attachment
2-open the attachment in FF
3a- the menus may already not work, but if they do
3b-close the tab in which the email attachment opened
the menus should now be unusable.
method 2
1-request the creation of an account on bugzilla so that you can report a problem. You will be sent an email.
2-Use Urlview to list the URLs available in the body of the email
3-Select the URL for continuing with the creation of the account which will open the link in firefox
the menus should now be unusable

Could be duplicate or at least similar (don't know how to reopen this bug here): #1756418
