right click BROKEN FOR AGES in LINUX

[Tomas]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Many people have reported this annoying to the very core error, and no one has ever taken interest to fix it! Its hard to reproduce, but when it happens very often its driving me up the wall. The following is happening: when your right click on a link, Firefox opens instantly the link in a new window, instead of giving the list of options ("Open Link In New Window", "Open Link In New Tab", "Bookmark This Link" and so on). We all who reported this problem have been waiting for a fix for ages. SHAME as its almost a showstopper. THANK YOU and we hope you fix it.

For all polish Mozilla programmers:

Naprawcie to prosze bo mnie szlag z tym prawym klikiem trafia. Zamiast dac liste opcji zeby otworzyc w nowym tabie, czy oknie itd. to otwiera sie natychmiast nowe okno. No szlag mnie trafia. Prosze naprawcie to, bo ten blad jest od kilku lat i wszyscy maja go w dup*ie. A jak wiadomo Polacy sa najlepsi wiec naprawia, bo cała reszta to mądzioły, czopki, .... Z góry DZIĘKUJĘ.

PS. i jeszcze żeby defaultowo działał backspace (wartość: browser.backspace_action ustawic wartość deafault na 0. Dzięki.

Is there any way of reproducing this? I've just right-clicked on several links and had no issues. Have you tried this with other machines?
