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?

Yes, the Desktop version of Unity will use the global menu by default.
- To disable the global menu remove the indicator-appmenu
package, then log out and back in.
Unity will continue to run without it and your menus will appear inside the application windows as normal. You can also tell the appmenu to ignore specific applications if you're having a problematic app.
The command line way to remove the package is:
sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu
Removing the appmenu will break the HUD feature
Check out the "Disable the AppMenu ... for all applications" part.

There is one other step, and more packages removed.

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:configin the address bar (like you're trying to go to that URL as a website).Use the Search field to find the
use_unity_menubarsetting.Right-click on it. Choose
TOGGLEon the popup dialog. That should turn off the global menus and restore the top-of-window menus. (The full name of the preference isui.use_unity_menubar.)
