145144 - No navigation in context menu popups on images.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135331

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[lars]

The context menu that pops up when right-clicking on an image no longer contains
navigation choices (back, forward, etc.).  For web pages that consist entirely
or largely of images this is a miserable decision -- it means that either:

(a) The user has to go mousing across a possibly huge screen area to reach the
back button at the top of the browser window, or

(b) The user must perform a context switch and start using the keyboard instead
of the mouse.

Both choices are hardly optimal.  Simple navigation is *always* in context. 
It's hardly a show stopper, but it sure seems as if the decision to remove these
menu items may have been ill-considered.

Netscape says that research shows that people don't want back and forward in the
context menus.  I disagree with the research though and would love the menu
items back.  Nonetheless, this is a duplicate of a bug that has been marked
WONTFIX (sorry) :-(
