[Bug 818071] Re: right click does not launch the context menu but instead works like the mouse left click

[Daniel Manrique]

Hi Radu,

I offer my apologies, I didn't verify this behavior under Ubuntu
Classic, so I assumed it was always the case that you couldn't right-
click on an entry.

I traced the fault to firefox-globalmenu, which is an add-on for Firefox
which enables "global menu" integration; that is, making the Firefox
menu bar appear on the top panel.

To reproduce, on a stock Ubuntu Natty installation:

1- Launch Firefox and go to the top panel to show the menus.
2- Right-click on any bookmark in the Bookmarks menu.

Desired behavior: 
- A menu with options for the selected bookmark

Actual behavior:
- As if one had left-clicked on the entry, the browser starts loading it.

To obtain the desired behavior, disable the addon going to Tools ->
Addons and clicking the "Disable" button under "Global Menu Bar
Integration". However this, of course, disables the global menu bar on
Firefox.

I'll mark this confirmed again (I was able to replicate the behavior)
and setting importance to Medium as it has a "moderate impact on a core
application". I'm also updating the description to mention firefox-
globalmenu.

Thanks again and sorry for the confusion!
