Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I am using firefox 3.0~b3~
when I right click on a link sometimes instead of popping up the normal right click menu one of these thing happens:
- the link is automatically opened in a new window
- the link is automatically opened in a new tab
- the add to favourites menu appears
- link properties are opened
==== Workaround ====
Workaround: Install the Mouse Gestures plug-in https:/
Workaround 2: click and hold the right button until the menu appears, then release the button over the menu item you want.
Please don't comment if either workaround fixes the problem for you. Otherwise, give hints how to reproduce please!
====Please read before commenting====
From https:/
"If a person is affected by this bug they can note this with the the "This bug doesn't affect me" / "This bug affects me" switch at the top of this page.
Posting comments only generates more mail and makes the page so large that it is hard to follow actual discussion of this bug since the page is mostly the "me too!" posts. (Seriously, this page is huge.) We know this bug affects a lot of people. I myself am affected. There are enough "me too!" comments here that more will do exactly no good. You can subscribe yourself to this bug and mark yourself as affected without posting a me too comment, and we are politely requesting that people do that."

I couldn't reproduce this on Windows (2005 Oct 13 trunk and 1.5b2) or on my
version of Linux with similar versions. If I click on the exact corner, the menu
appears slightly to the left of the mouse. If I click near the corner, the menu
is aligned with the bottom of the screen (and hence, the mouse), but the border
of the menu doesn't count as the menu.
Could this be theme related on your Linux system?
