Public bug reported:

When right clicking on a link or into a page in Firefox 3, quite sometimes doesn't appear a menu.
This couldn't be so important, but it's not over.
The right click also gives a random command from the menu list, even if the command hasn't been selected.
Sometimes Firefox wants to send the link via email, sometimes reverts the page order, or opens the link in a new tab.
None of these commands are selected when the right click is done.
It seems like the right click continues and automatically selects a random command from its menu.

I am using the Firefox 3 with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, and this bug seems to appear since version alpha6 of Firefox [I have not tested the previous ones].
Actually I am using the 3.0.2 version, upgraded today via Synaptic.

I tried downloading Firefox from the Official Mozilla homepage.
I extracted the tarball and executed Firefox3 from its folder. The bug seems to be disappeared from the official tarball, but NOT from the Firefox natively installed into Ubuntu.
