User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; Win64; x64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0.3 Waterfox/40.0.3
Build ID: 20150901153612

Steps to reproduce:

Tested on FF39 on Windows 7 x64, FF40 on Windows Vista x64, and FF41 on Windows 7 x64, but I first noticed it with the switch to Australis on a W7 x64 machine years ago. Does not appear to be specific to Windows desktop theme (tested with both Classic and Aero).

1. Download something
2. Open the recently downloaded items dropdown
3. Rightclick on the downloaded item inside the blue highlight but outside of the lightened area in the attached image
4. Select any option (aside from 'clear list')



Actual results:

The context menu closed but no action was carried out.


Expected results:

The selected option should have been carried out, but it seems to only work if you rightclick in the middle part of the blue highlighted area. 

It might be worth noting that 'clear list' works regardless of where the initial rightclick happens. 

Whether or not the blue highlight on the downloaded item is present when you select the option has no bearing on the outcome.
