[Firefox] when you directly right-click in the Navigation bar, the "copy/cut" command is inactive

[Miroslav Hadzhiev]

Binary package hint: firefox

To begin with, I should mention that I use "browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll" set to "true" as it is under Windows.
However, if you right-click the Navigation Bar, only the "Paste" command is active and not "Copy/Cut".
This is wrong behavior.

Firefox use Bulgarian language but I want to translate it for you in order to see the problem clearly. So:

"Изрязване - Cut"
"Копиране - Copy"
"Поставяне - Paste"
"Изтриване - Delete"

[Miroslav Hadzhiev (xtigyro)]

And in order to get "Copy/Cut/Delete" active you have to right-click again.
So I want to say that if you right-click once, these commands are inactive (and under Windows it is the other way round). You have to right-click in Navigation Bar twice in order to use them (which, frankly speaking, is very irritating).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!
If you are interested in learning more about software repositories and Ubuntu the following pages should be informative:
1. http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components - information about Ubuntu repositories
2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - information regarding managing repositories.

I've tested the official Ubuntu Firefox package and it's all the same. The problem occurs in it, too.

P.S. Concerning the unofficial package I use, it's for the smooth scaling of images option which is turned on in this package. This is the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~firefox-smooth-scaling/+archive/ppa

Since this affects the official release as well for you, could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If this helps, you might want to try to disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one.

You can start the profile manager with the following command:
firefox -ProfileManager

[Miroslav Hadzhiev (xtigyro)]

I deleted "/home/user/.mozilla" and tried again. And the problem still exists.

[Draycen DeCator (ddecator)]

Thank you for testing with a new profile. Have you run into this bug with any other applications, or only Firefox?

[Miroslav Hadzhiev (xtigyro)]

Of course, not. This bug is closely connected with FF.
Did you read post #3 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/579799/comments/3)?

[Miroslav Hadzhiev (xtigyro)]

Please, retest it by yourself. Thanks.

Yes, I read the comment, but it did not explicitly say that the issue is unique to Firefox so I just wanted to make sure. I have been testing this with different versions of Firefox on my system using clean profiles and have not been able to reproduce it yet, which is why I wondered if the problem was perhaps something outside of Firefox. I will continue to look into the issue and try to reproduce the bug.

[Miroslav Hadzhiev (xtigyro)]

I see.
So I'm going to retest the problem but this time under the live-cd and again with the "browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll" set to "true" as it is under Windows.

[Miroslav Hadzhiev (xtigyro)]

Nope. The problem occurs again in the exact same way.
