Thanks for your bug report, unfortunetly I can't duplicate this. Can you give us a screen shot, extension list, and architecture?

I made a screen shot of the result of doing several right clicks in several different areas.

I suspected a problem with an extension so I disabled all of my extensions. The multiple popups stopped. I then enabled the extensions one by one to see which one was the culprit. The multiple popups did not start again. So, my problem appears to be fixed for now.

I can recreate the problem now. Disabling ANY extension and restarting will stop the problem and I can start the problem again by doing save as from the right click menu on an image in a web page.

is there an extension that handles images? maybe nuke anything or Image
Zoom, both which i've used. I'm on GNOME 2.16.1, Firefox 2.0 on a x86 (intel
system) and I see you have a x86 (AMD) system. What desktop environment and
version? I'd delete one, try to reproduce the bug, and report the bug to the
extension author. If it's all the same to you, I will close the bug report,
and we can debug this over email. <email address hidden>

It looks like Image Zoom is the problem.

I'm on Gnome 2.16.1 and Firefox 2.0.

I have no objection to closing this out and considering it an extension problem.

Hi all,

I was annoyed as well by this context menu behavior, so I peeked at the source and I changed this:

in the content/overlay.js file, on line 257 (in the izOnMouseClick function declaration), I replaced
       if (contextDisabled ) {
by
       if (contextDisabled && e.originalTarget.tagName == "IMG") {

Repackage your extension, and the nasty popup menus are gone.

For you convenience, I attached the resulting imagezoom.jar .

Let me know if that works for you.

Dom
