Firefox Not Playing Nice With Compiz

For anyone who has Nvidia Graphics along with Compiz running and your Firefox Menu's disappear along with your menu bar there is a solution. Simply go here and follow these instructions. {System->Preferences->compizconfig_settings_manager->utility->workarounds->Uncheck-legacy fullscreen support}
That should fix it right there on the spot. That is the location for compiz in Ubuntu other distro's may be slightly different, Mandriva has compiz config under tools.
