When I put the mouse pointer in the horizontal space to the right of the top menu bar ("File", "Edit", ...) in Firefox and press/hold the left mouse button, the mouse pointer changes to the grabbing icon that you would normally get if you pressed/held the left mouse button in the window's title bar, and as long as I keep the button down, the window moves around as though I'd pressed down in the title bar. I don't want it to do this, if I wanted to move the window around the screen I'd put the pointer in the title bar, not in Firefox's menu bar. I'm looking for an option or workaround that undoes this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/538838 Firefox 32.0.3, Ubuntu 12.04LTS, Xfce4 4.8

Hello,

Unfortunately I think this is a part of Ubuntu's interface so I am not sure if you are able to change it in Firefox alone. If you click and drag the menubar for other applications does it exhibit the same behavior? If it does you can try looking for the global applications settings and try to change it from there.
