When I try to open the Menu tab on the Menu Bar nothing happens. If any thing when I click on Menu a very small square appears under the underlined M then disappears when I click it again. All of the other tabs on the Menu Bar from File to Help work just fine. I uninstalled Firefox 38.0.1 the reinstalled again and the problem still persist. I even went back to 37.0.2 however the problem still appears even though it did not happen when I was running 37.0.2 prior to installing 38.0.1. It should be noted that I actually upgraded to 38.0.1 on 5/17/2015 and everything has worked fine until today.

I don't have a Menu on my menu bar, just:

File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help

Is that something created by one of your extensions? What used to be on it?

jscher2000. You are right. When I checked my other machines that also run Firefox, the word Menu does not appear at the beginning of the string. Some way or another the word Menu has gotten introduced at the beginning of the string and it's really not a tab at all. That's why it doesn't open.

Thanks for the heads up
