Right-click menu

[Envergure]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi,

For almost a year now there's been a bug in Firefox which causes unpredictable behavior when I right-click on links. Sometimes I get the right-click menu, like I'm supposed to. Other times, Thunderbird opens and wants me to create a new email with the target in it. Sometimes it opens the target in a new tab or window. Sometimes it bookmarks or favourites the target. Sometimes it tries to download the target. Still other times, Evolution opens and asks me to configure an account. (Evolution is the default Email thing in Ubuntu.)

This is a serious flaw in your software, and I'm surprised you haven't fixed it yet. If you ever want to overtake IE you've got to give the user a pleasant experience - one wherein the user has control of the computer. This has been a problem since Firefox 2, and in version 3 it hasn't been addressed yet.

Other than that, you've done a great job developing Firefox, so keep up the good work.
