Reminder : I have opened Bug #238733 to discuss these right-click issues
and I have been answered to shut up about it in launchpad. You might
want to go to Bug #238733 and tell them that the report is by no means
Invalid (at least no more than repeated mentions in this thread) and
maybe request to take it out of that state.

Alternatively, launchpad might be the right place to request that it's
now high time to regress Ubuntu 8.04 to a stable Firefox 2 and to no
longer ever dress an LTS release in a beta software (vox populi vox dei).

More generally, I'd welcome a bug report platform where someone like a
developer sometimes pops up to ask for pertinent details rather than a
platform looking like a bowing crowd praying heaven for fixes to rain.
Bugs are hardly analyzed and when one tries to do that, the answer is
that the report is too long.
