It happens a few minutes after starting firefox:menu bar items become inactive. The apple menu is inactive too. The menus of the other applications work properly (Apple menu is OK then). When switch back to firefox, menus are still inactive. Menus work again if all the firefox windows are closed (not systematically). When restarted, firefox is OK ...for a while.

Try to repair the disk permissions:

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Go to "Library > Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

try 1: disk permissions repaired : menu bar items still inactive from time to time try 2: firefox.plist removed : menu bar items not active at all although a new plist has been created! restoring the old plist : menu bar items OK, but I have to wait for a while, because menu bar items turn inactive only from time to time (generally, in less than 1 hour). Will keep you informed Thank for your help!
