Menu windows are not closing within Firefox

For the last couple of days, Firefox has been exhibiting a strange behavior in that menu windows within the browser do not close until a menu option is selected; the default behavior should be that the window closes if I click outside of the menu window.

If, for example, I right click on the Firefox main window to bring up the options menu (navigation, "save page as...", "view page source", etc.), the menu will not close if a click out of it. The same behavior is present for extension icons - after clicking on an extension ("browser_action") icon, the menu associated with that extension will not close.

Around the time that I first noticed the behavior, I upgraded my browser to 48.0.1. I was also developing a browser extension, had been using the "about:debugging" menu, and had been using the extension debugger.

So far, to fix the problem, I've tried removing all extensions, I've tried restarting the browser in safe mode, and I've tried reinstalling Firefox. These actions did not help to resolve the problem.
