firefox dropdowns, menus and popup menus do not appear after resume from suspend on Ubuntu 22 or 24

Firefox dropdowns, menus and popup menus do not appear after resume from suspend on Ubuntu 22 or 24 This has been happening for only the last few weeks. Even dropdowns on web pages do not appear. I can click the dropdown and cursor down then hit ENTER to change a dropdown's value but I cannot see anything while I'm doing it. On the menus, I can use hotkeys if I remember them but the menus themselves do not appear. Right-clicking to get a context menu also does nothing but it behaves like it did. If I right click something, nothing changes on screen but if I then click another link or button, the first click is swallowed to dismiss the non-existent popup.

Other apps on the system work fine including Chromium browser.

This only occurs if I start Firefox then suspend the machine and then resume from suspend. After resume, the menus, dropdowns and popups no longer appear.

I am running Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS on a Dell Optiplex 3050, Core i3-7100x4 , 16 GB ram, Intel HD graphics 630 (KBL GT2), Gnome 46, Wayland windowing system.

I tried Firefox safe mode, clearing the caches, etc. Nothing worked.

Forgot to mention that I upgraded Ubuntu from version 22 to version 24 hoping that would fix the issue but it did not. The problem started on Ubuntu 22 and I still have the issue on v24.

On Linux (Wayland) systems, certain popups and context menus will sometimes stop appearing. We track it under bug 2038866.
