Note this issue not only affects Top Sites, it also happens on the "Recommended by Pocket" section. As the "bookmark" option is also always selected once you click on "..."

Reverting bug 1559383 seems to fix the problem locally for me. It's just that opening the menu focuses the item, so pointing with the mouse also shows a hover effect too in addition to the focus.

To me it looks like the issue is that if the user switches keyboard and mouse, the keyboard highlight remains when the mouse highlights another option. Should be able to fix this by allowing only one option to be focused at a time. I'll take a look!

So we've identified a way to fix this but it'll take a pretty hefty refactor - for now I'll remove the focus behavior entirely, and fix both that and the highlighting with a future patch.

I have verified that the issue is no longer reproducible on the latest Nightly 70.0a1 (Build ID 20190713215744) on Windows 10, macOS 10.14, and Arch Linux 14.4.3.

@Ed, given that bug 1559383 has been reverted, should we reopen it in order to track the issue moving forward?

Sounds reasonable. There's already a PR to fix things https://github.com/mozilla/activity-stream/pull/5161 I'll update it to point to the reopened bug

Is this something we should consider for Beta uplift for Fx69?

Thanks for the approval request. Approved for 69.0b11.

Ryan, I grafted the patch here and another bug got in, bug 1565293: https://irccloud.mozilla.com/file/ABNAAZp4/image.png

I backed that bug out, and landed this one. Sorry for the mess.

https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta/rev/07dbf2e07126

I have verified that this issue is no longer reproducible with the latest Firefox Beta (69.0b14 Build ID - 20190815163925) installed, on Windows 10 x64, Arch Linux and Mac 10.14.5. Now the first option from the menu is no longer highlighted by default.
