However, the resulting window didn't have either option. When I clicked on the link, it displayed the URI in the existing tab that I was viewing Mozillazine in. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. goto specified URL 2. try and open link to the 15/Sept staff meeting in a new tab/window. Actual Results: Wrong menu appeared. Expected Results: Ability to open news: link in new tab. This is running 1.5 RC1

MASS-CHANGE: This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state. If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way. If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar). If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state. Query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614

the URL in comment #0 opens a blank page for me: outdated URL?

(In reply to comment #5) > the URL in comment #0 opens a blank page for me: outdated URL? Probably. Put the one brought up on #bugday into the URL field.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.2pre) Gecko/20110517 Firefox/4.0.2pre SeaMonkey/2.1.1pre Still no "open in new tab/window" menuitems in context menu. Strangely enough, clicking the link opens it in a new _browser_ tab, not in the mailer and (unlike http links) not in the current browser tab. A mailto: link has the same context menu (but clicking it opens a message-compose window, of course).

This was originally put in as part of the fix to bug 32359, as the browser now knows how to deal with news/snews, the news/snews part can be removed.

(I don't have an easy example to test.) It saves it as an email message e.g. news://news.mozilla.org:119/j8OdnddY9vrWDlrWnZ2dnUVZ_vydnZ2d@mozilla.org

Comment on attachment 556812 [details] [diff] [review] Remove disablement from nsContextMenu [Checked in: Comment 12 & Comment 14] It might be an idea to rewrite this as a sequence of &&s using De Morgan's Law, which says that !(a == b || c == d) can be written a != b && c != d. [Would lose the blame for this.linkProtocol == "mailto" though ;-) ]
