239396 - Right click to remove drop down history links

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 198327

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Ben Dodson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040211 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040211 Firefox/0.8

Sometimes I accidently type in a wrong URL or visit a subsection of a page that
I rarely go to. Either way, the link sticks around in my history drop-down for a
long time and makes it hard to find the link I actually want. It woud be nice if
I could right click to remove it from the drop-down history so it doesn't pop up
over and over. If the same link is removed more than once, firefox should never
add it into the drop-down history.

Reproducible: Always

With the latest builds, you should be able to use Shift-Delete to remove the
highlighted entry from any autocomplete dropdown.

...and as a result of the above, this is all but certainly WONTFIX.  I'd mark it
as such except that normal bug triagers shouldn't mark bugs as WONTFIX, per some
doc on mozilla.org that I'm too lazy to find.

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

yeah, we'd have to implement contextmenu support on autocomplete widgets, which
would be hard as hell and probably wouldn't ever work quite right without a ton
of error checking

About the typos being saved, that is bug 9203. And about the contextmenu menu on
autocomplete, that is bug 198327.
