FireFox does not allow mouse right-click mouse menu navigation if any dialog open on any tab, but keyboard selection is a workaround.

Bug Description

I right click a URL to open in another tab, and when I move the mouse down the menu, as soon as I leave the URL area, the dialog box is closed. If I type t for open in another tab, it works. If I search all tabs for an open dialog, and close it, then this works fine. I have the latest FireBird and all Ubuntu updates.

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 since that time.

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
