Right click on bookmark items doesn't work.

[Spirit]

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, Firefox 7.0.1.

Right click on a bookmark item should cause a context menu to pop up from which user can choose what to do.
But when I right click on any bookmark item, it just open that item as if I clicked the left button instead of the right button.

Possibly dupe of Bug #748850

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Spirit and anyone else affected,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported? Please let us know if you do.

If we do not hear from you this bug report will close in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

The problem still exists in Firefox 61.0.1 (64-bit) under Ubuntu 16.04LTS.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

Thanks for your reply Allan. Not reproducible here with Firefox 61.0.1 and Ubuntu 18.04 but reverting status back to "Confirmed".

Might be related to upstream bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913356

I just wish to clarify that this bug refers to what happens when one attempts to right-click the bookmark items in the drop-down menuy that appear after clicking on the menu bar item "Bookmarks". This does not refer to right-clicking on any bookmark that exists inside the applet that appears after clicking "Show All Bookmarks" (i.e. the "Library" applet.)
