For our own builds we never have shown the main menu in the global bar but inside the Firefox window itself. Now with Australis you will have to press the Alt button to show the menu, similar to what the behavior on Windows is. So this might be expected.

But pressing Alt conflicts with the global setting under Ubuntu, which brings up the run command overlay.

Ubuntu bundles an add-on which clones our (hidden) menubar out to dbusmenu so that we work properly with the global menu bar.

Yes, our hiding of the menubar on Linux is by design, as per bug 896887. Marking this one as WONTFIX.
