Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

hi all,

whenever i use firefox, sometimes when i click in the menu, instead of opening the menu, it somehow creates a selection click, and chooses the first option in that menu.
for example, by pressing the mouse on the Bookmarks Tab, i automatically get the 'add bookmark' window. or by clicking the history tab, i automatically find myself in the last page...

very weird, but everything else works :)

Are you sure it's not your fault? You click on bookmarks, move down the mouse and release the button at the "add to bookmarks" menu item. It can happen very quickly without you even noticing it.

Changed in firefox:

i am certain. it mainly happens with my touch-pad (i don't recall it ever occurred with my normal mouse)

I'm sorry but this is one more reason for me that you may be misclicking somewhere. Could you try this 20-30 times with paying close attention to make sure your click doesn't slip down.

ok. you bought me.. i had it with my regular mouse today, so i guess it's just too sensitive..
