1557984 - Deleting entries from chronic drop down list doesn't work in Beta and bejond.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1547919

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Markus]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

In Firefox you could delete entries from the chronic drop down list by right clicking one entry and pressing the Delete key. This stopped working in Beta and also doesn't work in Nightly. Setting "browser.urlbar.quantumbar" to "false" fixes it in Beta. As suggested in this Reddit thread: https://new.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bybsvs/deleting_entries_from_chronic_drop_down_list/

Actual results:

Right clicking an entry and deleting it with the Delete key doesn't work anymore in Beta and Nightly.

Expected results:

Right clicking an entry should let me mark and delete it.

Selecting items by right-clicking on them only worked by accident. It's a quirk that we don't intend to bring back. You can instead select with the tab or arrow keys, then hit shift+delete to delete an item.
