dueling popup menus on some sites

[Dilton McGowan II]

Binary package hint: firefox

Steps to reproduce:

1) Go to http://www.sun.com
2) In the lower left corner of the page (as of today 12-19-2007) right-click and select Copy Link Location
3) On the tab bar now right-click and try to open a New tab

You should see the menu that comes up down in the client area of the page, then click in a gray area of the bar and there is a remaining menu that is the correct one which lets you open a New tab.

I confirm I also have this problem: it seems to happen when you copy a text (not only a link) from Firefox to clipboard. Actually for me it seems to happen randomly. I don't know if the "glipper" clipboard manager I'm using is also involved into this problem. I'll try to upload a screenshot as soon as it happens again.

i cannot reproduce this bug. Please try to disable your extensions and
see if your problem goes away.

Thanks,

Ok good idea it was being caused by the Image Zoom 0.3 plugin. I disabled that and now the problem appears to be gone. It looks like it has already been reported at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/139 so I will close this bug.

Thanks for looking into it!
