[Bug 377134] [NEW] Right-click menu

[Envergure]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi,

For almost a year now there's been a bug in Firefox which causes
unpredictable behavior when I right-click on links.  Sometimes I get the
right-click menu, like I'm supposed to.  Other times, Thunderbird opens
and wants me to create a new email with the target in it.  Sometimes it
opens the target in a new tab or window.  Sometimes it bookmarks or
favourites the target.  Sometimes it tries to download the target.
Still other times, Evolution opens and asks me to configure an account.
(Evolution is the default Email thing in Ubuntu.)

This is a serious flaw in your software, and I'm surprised you haven't
fixed it yet.  If you ever want to overtake IE you've got to give the
user a pleasant experience - one wherein the user has control of the
computer.  This has been a problem since Firefox 2, and in version 3 it
hasn't been addressed yet.

Other than that, you've done a great job developing Firefox, so keep up
the good work.
