Should I click "Click Here To Go to Yahoo" ?

[Dennis Jakobsen]

yes or you can copy/paste the code if you don't trust Yahoo :)

I only get the tabbar, location bar and navigation buttons in the popupwindow. That seems correct. If I set dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar to true, the menu is also displayed but it is on the titlebar of the window. That also seems correct.

For some reason I can open the window only once and after close I can't anymore. On a local testcase of that code it works fine.

Your screenshot is not from the provided page, but you also see the problem on the provided page?

Ah, I had the window out of sight. I can open it repeatedly also on the provided site.
Are you possibly using HW acceleration? Please post contents of "Graphics" section of about:support. And the try to disable HW accel in Options (and restart FF).

The screenshot is from my employer's system, i cannot give public access to it, so it googled that example page.

I get the exact same behaviour. With web console open and click the link i see the orange firefox menu and it goes away again if i close the console and click it again.

I am using hw accel, but turning it off does not help.

It's Firebug! My apologies..  i should learn to turn off addons before submitting bugs!

Does happen to me too :)

However, it would still be nice to communicate with the Firebug authors if they are doing this intentionally. If not, it may still be a Firefox bug they are just exposing. Can you do it? The you can reopen the bug if needed.

Honza, can you look into this on the Firebug side?

aceman, you can file bugs on Firebug at http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/entry

I believe this problem is fixed in Firebug 1.9a4

Firefox 7 + Firebug 1.8 = nested top left firefox menu
Firefox 7 + Firebug 1.9 = no menu (using the page from comment #2)

If the problem persists for you even in Firebug 1.9, please create
a new issue report here: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/entry
and I'll recheck.

Thanks!
