Status: NEW

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P5)

Description

[Andrew Holder [:Andrew]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go into "about:config"
2. Find: "widget.gtk.native-context-menus". Set it to "True".
3. Restart Your Browser
4. Find a hyperlink, such as a Tweet posting a news article.
5. Right Click > "Copy Link"
6. Try to paste that link somewhere.
7. Observe.

Actual results:

The hyperlink that I copied via Right Click > "Copy Link" does not get copied. However, regular text across websites does.

Expected results:

I should have been able to copy the hyperlink from a website and paste it elsewhere.

Also as a note. Right Clicking hyperlinks, such as the ones I commented above then going to > "Open in New Window" does not open the browser in a new window. Similar if you go to "New Tab" when able to.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Cocoa' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

[Kestrel]

Console error:

Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "copyLink", gContextMenu is null
oncommand chrome://browser/content/browser.xhtml:1

"Save Image As" also fails to show the file picker with a similar error but with the "saveMedia" property.

Possibly regressed by Bug 1758424.
