1226952 - [Tab Mix Plus] Page's selected hyperlink text Context menu has multiple entries for "s"

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Attachment: CyberFox.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; NetBSD i386) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.104 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a website with hyperlinks on it
2. Select the hyperlink
3. Press context menu key on keyboard (I tested it so far using Windows OS 8.1)
4. Press "s" for "Search [*] for [*]"

Now two entries are options:
1. The search entry
2. "Open Links in new tabs"

Somehow this only seems to happen when only a fraction of the hyperlinks text description is selected or when the cursor stays the hand icon whilst selecting. I'm not quite sure.


Actual results:

The short way for opening the links gets a little longer, an additional Enter key press is needed.


Expected results:

The search should start immediately when pressing the "s" key.

Firefox doesn't have a menu item labeled “Open Links in New Tabs”. This is either specific to Cyberfox — the third-party build you're using — or one of your add-ons.

Hey, that's cool! Thanks for telling me that there is a "Cyberfox" out there in the wild, that's pretty awesome stuff and something you don't see everyday. I didn't know about this and when I renamed FF to CF a few months ago (I did it just for fun and for the sake of doing things differently...) CF didn't exist yet (at least not in the search index of my favourite search engine - I remember searching for it once).

The reason why I'm saying this: I just renamed the Firefox shortcut in Start Menu and the Taskbar to "CyberFox". I wouldn't file a Cybefox Bug in the Firefox bugtracker, you understandibly seem to have misunderstood me there.

So to clear things up: I am using the regular stable Firefox build and not Cyberfox (Cyberfox != CyberFox :-P ).
See the following link for reference: https://i.imgur.com/N72Bcp4.png

However, I made a crucial mistake I hopefully won't do again: I failed to test it out with a clean and new profile - now the "Open links in new tabs" really is gone without any AddOns :-( I could've sworn it was there without AddOns before. Well whatever: Let's  not worry and be happy :-)

I'm going to "move" the bug to the creator of the AddOn (it seems that Tab Mix Plus is the root of this issue) that is responsible for this.
I am incredibly sorry for any unnecessary trouble I created here and again Thank You.
