try to disable your flashgot (and maybe flashblock) extension.

I have this same issue both with 8.04, and now with 8.10. This occured on a FRESH install (not an upgrade) of 8.10, as well as a clean install of Firefox (with no addons).

I am still experiencing the same thing on occasion; it tends to happen because of where the cursor is the menu would pop up in a certain orientation and autohighlight the thing that gets clicked in this bug. Much of the time it opens up "send link" and thus evolution, or tries to download it. It does this with no addons or several.

this seems to be a problem with Firefox, I have had this annoyance in version 3.0 since installation on Mandriva 2009.

other web browsers without problems.

briefly what happens:
after right click on a mouse standard menu fails to activate, instead other unrelated menus or applicatlions are started; such as Evolution, printer job list, new window in Firefox, bookmarks add-on window to name few.

result:
limited or no use of Firefox

The issue in this bug report has not been fixed for few months as this was tested after every update of Firefox.

Oops!! Sorry for not getting back to you. Not an issue now. Thanks
for your good work, I am just a home user who doesn't know the
difference between C++ and perl.
