Bug Description
Sometimes Firefox places its menus at incorrect locations. See attached screenshot and video. This happens at least with the main (hamburger icon) menu, bookmark folders, and context menu. Moving the Firefox window temporarily solves the problem. It usually happens after resume from suspend, which in general in my case is accompanied by a display reconfiguration (unplug external monitor, suspend, resume, plug other external monitor).
This looks very similar to this another bug (https:/

This video shows that the bookmark folder that should appear below the corresponding bookmark icon appears elsewhere. It also shows that the menu responds to mouse movements as if it was correctly placed: the entries are highlighted/ unhighlighted as I move the mouse under the bookmark icon, where the menu should be.
