This could well be a dupe - I couldn't find it in a vast array of "context menu"
Bugzilla hits however (I could have missed it.)
If you go to the reference URL and post a reply, then right click on one of the
URLs listed in the post being replied to, the context menu will appear at the
top of the screen rather than at the position of the mouse cursor. Further,
none of the menu items do anything.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the reference URL.
2. Click on the "postreply" button. (You may need a MozillaZine user account
for this.)
3. Rather than actually posting a reply, go to the bottom of the screen where
the original post is displayed.
4. Right-click on a link to one of the bugs listed.
Actual Results:
Context menu appears at the top of the Mozilla window.
Expected Results:
Context menu should have appeared at the location of the mouse pointer.
None of the context menu items work. You can click on any of them (Open in new
window, new tab, save link, etc.) but they do nothing. The content menu is
simply dismissed with no further activity.
NOTE: Context menus work as expected when clicking on a link when VIEWING the
post, just not when REPLYING to it.

Reopening.
Vertical positioning of context menus is now fixed - but the 2nd problem
remains. None of the context menu items work. Follow steps to reproduce in bug
description (look at additional notes under "Expected Results").

Revising summary to better reflect (current) state of the bug. The vertical
positioning (now fixed) was just cosmetic. The actual loss of functionality is
the main focus of this bug.

worksforme, current trunk build, win2k (context menu on right click of link does
not disappear; menuitems work as expected).

For me, with WinXP, the context menu doesn't disappear with a right-click -
that's when it appears. But when you left-click on any item from the list, it
goes away without performing the action that it should.
Can anybody else confirm/deny this bug under XP? (Try opening one of the links
in a new tab via the context menu, for instance.)

Additional tests: The 1/9 build of Phoenix for Win32 worked. But a completely
fresh install of Mozilla 1/9/08 (deleting all files after removing old copy)
under a totally new profile did not.

More information:
How strange! I just discovered that some of the links DO work, but not others.
(I happened upon this when trying to open a link to something I was replying to
and was suprised to find it worked, so revisited this testcase.)
For instance, follow the steps to reproduce this bug. Right-clicking on the
first bug (160373) and selecting Open in New Tab works. But doing the same with
the next bug (161928) does NOT.

Actually, it appears as if it's not needed.
I just looked at this bug again, and now ALL links in the testcase work as
expected. Some recent fix/checkin obviously corrected the problem. I'll
resolve this as fixed.
