Bug Description
When right clicking on a entry in the bookmarks menu, I expect to be presented with a context menu which would allow me to delete a bookmark, rename etc. Instead right click works like a left mouse click and sends me to the url over which the mouse hovers.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I was able to replicate the behavior you observe, however it would appear that this behavior is "by design", and I'm unsure whether menu items which are supposed to perform actions should also be expected to respond to right-click to get properties on them. It's something I haven't seen in any other user interfaces.
You can, of course, select "Show All Bookmarks" in the Bookmarks menu and work with your bookmarks there.
I'm marking your report "Wishlist" to indicate it's a feature request.
Thanks!
