Bug Description

Since the past few updates, I am seeing the Menu Bar in the Nightly window. Trying to remove it through 'Customize...' doesn't work; I even tried 'Restore default set' while in that window. I now see two menubars, one in the Unity taskbar (global menu) and the other in the Nightly Window. I want to remove the latter.

A screenshot is attached. Thanks!

This is a bug in one of your other addons (Cleanest Addon Manager), which somehow prevents the UA stylesheet from our addon from loading.

You could have determined that before reporting this though. In future, please read our bug reporting guidelines before reporting a bug (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs). And please don't use the Launchpad interface for reporting bugs

Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) wrote on 2012-06-24:

Just to be clear - what happens here is that the "Cleanest Addon Manager" addon accesses (and hence, causes the initialization of) the stylesheet service from it's startup() bootstrap method.

Our menubar registers a UA stylesheet in its chrome.manifest which is used to set the menubar to display: none and the toolbar to min-height: 0. The stylesheet service registers this UA stylesheet when it starts, but the "Cleanest Addon Manager" causes it to start before extension chrome is registered for non-restartless addons - such as ours.

This isn't the first time something like this has come up (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693687, which was also caused by a restartless addon accessing internal services before extension chrome is registered).

There shouldn't be any reason why this problematic addon couldn't access the stylesheet service from an idle event, thus avoiding the issue.

However, as this may not be the only addon doing something like this, I may add a workaround for it in our extension by not relying on chrome registration to register our stylesheet (and doing it manually instead - much in the same way as Cleanest Addon Manager does) :(

Just FYI: I uninstalled Cleanest Addon Manager 2.0 and it didn't help, then I remembered you said something about restartless addons, so I downgraded to Adblock Plus 2.0.3 as well from 2.1rc. I don't see the second menubar anymore. Thank you for your assistance.

I apologize for not trying with a clean profile first; I asked about my issue on IRC before reporting it here. Maybe you can add information about the bug-reporting procedure in the 'PPA description' section at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa

Thanks. So it seems that there are quite a few third party addons which break it :(

Hopefully this workaround will be enough to prevent them from doing it. The fix will be in the next nightly build btw

This bug was fixed in the package firefox - 14.0~b9+build1-0ubuntu1

---------------
firefox (14.0~b9+build1-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

* New upstream release from the beta channel (FIREFOX_14_0b9_BUILD1)

  [ Chris Coulson <email address hidden> ]
  * Update globalmenu-extension to 3.3 prerelease r386
    - Fix LP: #1016081 - Menubar is not hidden when using the Firefox
      button outside of Unity
    - Fix LP: #775305 - An empty menu appears when FFChrome is installed
    - Fix LP: #1017247 - Menubar appears in the window as well as the
      Unity panel. Manually register our UA stylesheet rather than relying
      on this happening via chrome registration, to work around a bug
      in various bootstrapped third party addons (eg, pentadactyl),
      which initialize and use the stylesheet service before extension
      chrome is registered for non-restartless addons such as ours
    - Add a small delay when opening the menu with the keyboard, so that
      the additional items are added before the menu appears. Fixes an
      issue where keyboard focus isn't on the first item when opening the
      history menu with the keyboard
  * Apport hook improvements:
    - Sort preferences alphabetically in the apport data
    - Treat preferences set in default addons as default prefs so that
      they don't show up in apport data, unless the preference files have
      been modified
    - Support random pref files dropped in to the Firefox install folder, and
      preferences from application bundles
    - Fix ordering issues when loading preferences
  * Fix LP: #1013171 - Fully support Python 3 in the apport hook
    - update debian/apport/source_firefox.py.in

  [ Martin Pitt <email address hidden> ]
  * Add partial support for Python 3 in the apport hook (LP: #1013171)
    - update debian/apport/source_firefox.py.in
