Changing the Firefox layout would interfere with muscle memory, just to accomodate an Ubuntu bug. And doing so wouldn't solve the problem for Chromium, Epiphany, Midori, or Opera users.
I personally like GNOME Shell's solution of making the upper-left corner the trigger. It doesn't seem as intuitive here since the launcher comes out of the left side, but it's a lot harder to accidentally trigger.
