Firefox is my primary browser on every machine I use, and every OS I use, basically because of its awesomeness.

When using it in OSX, I have come across a problem on several occasions. When I type something into the awesome bar (a.k.a. the address bar), the drop-down listing of options appears, if at this point I want to check something on my Dashboard, the drop-down part of the awesome bar stays on top of the dashboard widgets.

The same problem comes up when using directories in my bookmark toolbar, and sometimes with tooltips.

It's just a bit annoying, and while I didn't think I used the Dashboard that frequently, this has happened enough times that it's become worth mentioning!
