Bug Description
As many people I use a password manager in order to manage my logins. For that I simply copy/paste the username and password in the respective fields from another application. Given some webpages block this by JavaScript, I have the following about:config preference:
dom.event.
This mostly as an information, because it doesn't seem to affect the problem.
Take a login page (I tried AliExpress - https:/
Click right in the password field, and the context menu is not shown. I would expect it to be shown.
Using Ctrl-V does work.
I tried a recreated profile in order to exclude profile-based issues. The same happens.
This does not happen on Ubuntu 16.04LTS (59.0.2+
I am not 100% sure this is a firefox issue. Perhaps this is Gnome related, because I use the default interface on each installation: Unity on 16.04LTS and Gnome3 on 18.04LTS.
