In order to minimize the number of clicks needed when navigating using a form,
it would be great, if the right-click on a form select option would not only
offer "back", "View Source" but also the two entries suggested in the summary line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
obviously, if there are multiple submit buttons applicable to a specific select
fields, the number of additionally needed context menu options grows similarly.
Actual Results:  
.

Expected Results:  
AFAIK, the same effect of "selecting an option and simultaneously submit" can
partially be achieved also with JavaScript, but
i) not with the variety of (power-user) choices this RFE offers
ii) and some people feel uneasy about JavaScript for various (security) reasons
anyway.

A related RFE is probably http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17754
