I can't open bookmarks in new tabs from it (this seems to be a bug in Unity), so I disabled the add-on for it. But the latest update for Firefox (22.0) removed that add-on and re-enabled the global menu. How can I disable it again?

I just updated to Firefox 22.0 under Ubuntu 12.04 / Unity. The add-on is indeed gone.
There is a config setting that appears to disable the (tremendously annoying) global menus.
Open firefox.
Enter about:config in the address bar (like you're trying to go to that URL as a website).
Use the Search field to find the use_unity_menubar setting.
Right-click on it. Choose TOGGLE on the popup dialog. That should turn off the global menus and restore the top-of-window menus. (The full name of the preference is ui.use_unity_menubar.)

My pleasure. Sure wish they would stop screwing around and use the 'standard' mechanism. I find the global menus very annoying and a hindrance to my productivity.– Art SwriJun 26, 2013 at 15:47
