It seems to me that "Right Click" on the "Personal Toolbar Folder" dont work
when there are so many items that the items the most to the right are not
visible. You can only see them after you click on ">>". There appears a sort of
dropdown box. But then the right click functions (open in new tab for example)
doesnt work anymore when you hoover above those links.
So i cant open those link in a new tab.

I searched and could not find a duplicate for this (though bug 59132 and 72361
are related to your bug description). I see the problem in Mozilla 1.7b
2004032609 under XP Pro and CONFIRM your finding. Firefox 0.8 and MSIE 6 for
Windows allow right-click contextmenu in overflow (extended) menu.
">>" sign is a chevron sign. Overflow menu is regularly mentioned in bugfiles.
So, I modified your summary to help eventual search for bugs.

-           <menupopup onpopupshowing="if (event.target == this)
BookmarksToolbar.updateOverflowMenu(this);"/>
+           <menupopup context="bookmarks-context-menu" 
+                      onpopupshowing="if (event.target == this)
BookmarksToolbar.updateOverflowMenu(this);"/>

I assumed that adding context="bookmarks-context-menu" was all we needed, but
that was not the case. Maybe we need to modify 'createTreeContextMenu'. Pierre
should know what we need for this.

Darn, I tried to CC Pierre Chanial ([e-mail]) but that failed. I guess he
changed his e-mail address...

As you may have noticed, no entry (=bookmark) in a folder in the personal
toolbar has a context menu, so this overflow folder also doesn't provide context
menus.
Implementation is slightly different, but apart from that, this is almost bug 50504.

This is still a problem in Firefox 3 on Mac OS X.
