Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Right clicking on a bookmark causes the bookmark folder to no longer display
the contents of the folder at a later attemp to view the contents(does not
open). Also a small rectangular button appears where the cursor tip was at the
click.
Also, after this action, chosing another folder closes the entire bookmarks
dropdown. The only cure is to close Firefox and restart.
The right clicking is accidental, but causes a mess.

"the severity selection on this page does not allow a selection to stick"
refers to the bug reporting form web page.

I have the same problems... I might add that along with the small "square"
mentioned previously (context menu not opening?)... it does not display the
right click context menu at all.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
