I don't think this is something we should attempt to do for v1.

I like that.
We need to make sure that accidental activation like bug 973217 can't happen though. Perhaps some kind of timeout for the duration of the opening animation?
Summary: Panels for developer/history/bookmarks/encoding/downloads should open on mousedown, should support activating items on mouseup → Main menu panel & panels for developer/history/bookmarks/encoding/downloads should open on mousedown, should support activating items on mouseup
Related to this:  if emulating traditional menus (at least, on Windows) the whole menu should dismiss if the mouse-up part of the "single click" is off the menu panel.

However, newer applications that have a "feature menu" (like Chrome, or the ribbon-menu Wordpad/Paint 'File' menu), don't do this (they leave the menu up).
Forward duping to where we actually do/did some of this.
