Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When i browse in firefox,When I right click a link ,(not always) instead of tooltip with open in new window ,open in new tab etc, bookmark window or evolution setup or save as window is opening. How to get rid of this? This makes my browsing session boring.Now I have upgraded to 9.04, but It was there in 8.10 also.

I explain the same thing again

If i want to open a link in new tab, I right click the link and choose the open in new tab option. Thats ok

Say I am searching a link in google and want to open it in new window
When I right click some link evolution setup (sometimes save as or bookmark window etc) is opening
I have to close it
and then right click again
to open that in another tab menu(sometime again evolution setup or bookmark etc will open and I have to close and do again)

This makes my browsing session boring

How to get rid of this?
Please solve this bug

is this bug happening on the default installation of firefox that comes installed with ubuntu???

Can you see if this behaviour is repeated if you disable all your addons and extensions and try again.

I am not able to reproduce this bug on Firefox 3.0.10 on Ubuntu 9.04.

I have attached a file

Here I have right clicked that link
for first four times I did not get that open in new tab menu
I am getting as shown in the screenshot
I closed the save as window for four times and tried again and again

Fifth time I am getting open in new tab menu

This occurs only for some links in google

 According to me, Firefox is crazy for some links, sometimes it opens in new window or sometimes opens evolution setup or save as windows (illustration given) or bookmark window

If you was to reproduce this, try this for some 30 links in google search you will find couple of links will produces faults for no reason
