1956573 - All possible context menu items appear in the context menu

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[adenin0177]

Attachment: Too many context menu items appear.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:136.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/136.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click with right mouse button anywhere in an HTML document.
2. The context menu appears with every context menu item that can appear, including those not relevant to the element right-clicked.

Actual results:

The context menu has every context menu item, including those not relevant to the right-clicked element (e. g. sound-, video-, image-related items when right-clicking text).

Expected results:

Not every context menu item should appear: right-clicking images should only show the image-related items, right-clicking videos should only show the video-related items, etc.

Restarting Firefox apparently fixes the issue.

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

Is this still happening for you?

If so, after startup, please can you go to the three-bar menu -> More Tools -> Browser Console. Then, try the right click context menu.

We would need to see the output of the error console, especially if there's any error messages listed there. You should be able to copy and paste as an attachment.

Could you please answer the following questions in order to further investigate this issue?

I have no addons installed, and the issue does not happen with a new profile.
The problem does not look able to be reproduced with 137.0.x or above, I only encountered it once on 136.
