622287 - Master Password prompt interferes with menu selection

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 439788

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

Attachment: screenshot.png

Firefox is rock-solid, so the only time I restart it is when I've installed an add-on.  Twice, now, I've immediately clicked the "Tools" menu after a restart, only to see the SSD dialog appear as Firefox loads password-protected tabs.

To replicate without a restart: hit "reload" on a page requiring authentication, before entering the master password. Quickly click the Tools menu before the SSD dialog appears.

This action somehow "orphans" the onscreen Tools menu.  I can't select things from the tool menu, and if I try to type my master password, the keystrokes go to the menu (selecting the menu items matching each typed letter).  Escape and enter (for cancel/OK) still work. The only way I've found to escape this is to cancel the SSD dialog(s), at which point the Tools menu returns and I can make my selection.

Screenshot attached, using the replication method.
