Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When selecting a Bookmark from the Bookmarks Toolbar and opening the Context Menue, the Options "Open", "Open in new Window", "Open in new Tab", "Paste", "Sort by Name" and "Properties" cannot be selected (displayed in grey). Going through the Bookmark Folders a second time and then opening the Context Menu shows all Options. I would expect to see the full Context menu every time, I do a right Click on a Bookmark.
This happens not all the time, but unregularly every 5th to 20th time.
I encountered this on two PCs both using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and Firefox 3.0~b5+
WORKAROUND for FF3.0 (From Upstream):
Additional infos: this bug does _not_ happens if you create or close another
tab
before you perform the second right-click (when the context menu should be
partially disabled).
Workaround: open bookmarks with mouse middle-click or with CTRL+click to open
in a new tab, or SHIFT+click to open in a new window

Do you have any extensions installed? Please try to disable them and
restart firefox. does this help?
