I'm not sure that's particularly tied to gnome & firefox - I think there's something about the X notifier that gets stalled when some menus are open, but it's years since I looked at any X programming.
I notice other things like the virtual window switcher not working when a menu is open and I want to look at something in another window - eg. when typing a URL into firefox and it pops-up what's effectively a pull-down menu with histtory choices - unless I click on the desktop to make it go away, I can then move the mouse to the edge of the screen to switch windows (by which I mean virtual screens)
