"Window" drop-down menu

For a long time now, the items listed in the "window" drop-down menu have randomly changed order each time I open Firefox, so that I always have to search the list for the window I want. With the latest update, it now changes while I'm looking at the menu, & not simply the order, but also the wording of entries. This appears to affect commercial sites, which makes me think that the companies involved are paying Firefox to make their sites more visible. If this is the case, it is both exceedingly annoying and also fairly reprehensible given your general ethos. Is there any way to stabilize (& rationalize) the order of the windows in the drop-down menu?
