On Linux Mint 9 (64 bit) After i have been in the "screensaver" and go back to the active screen again, the Firefox History Url "Drop Down Menu" does not appear when i start typing a URL into the URL Address on the top of Firefox...

In order to get it to function again, i am finding that i have to either open up some other application in Mint 9, or close Firefox and re-open it or else at least minimize to the tray and then make it full size again and THEN the "URL Drop Down Menu" appears once more...

Reproducible: Always




Never had this problem before with firefox...and i have used Ubuntu 8.10  Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 8....In Linux Mint 9 (64 bit version) this is the first time i ever encountered this problem...Linux Mint 9 has the current version of Firefox 3.6.3  

Hope you can fix this as it is rather annoying to have to keep opening another application in order to get the URL drop down to work again...
This problem only occurs when coming out of either "screensaver" or "sleep display" mode in Linux Mint 9
