274864 - Links in a table in a link give different results on left- and right-click

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 266932

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Baris Yurtcu]

Hello,

I couldn't understand the error. I can write the steps to regenerate the error:

1- Open new Firefox window.
2- For example go to this url: http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/news/300973.asp
3- This is a Turkish news portal, the site is Turkish. Scroll to bottom of the page.
4- Right click any link where under "GUNUN ONEMLI HABERLERI" header, and open it
in a new tab. That's ok. There are no error. But:
5- Don't open the link in a new tab, left click (open directly) the link. Here
is error! The site says: The link was not found.

Notice: I don't know, may be this error is the web master's error. May be the
web master didn't test the site for Firefox.

Regards,
Baris.

I suspect this must be a dup, though I can't find it. The problem is a section
of <a><table><tr><td><a></td></tr></a> which gives a rather odd DOM, and on
left-click gives us the href from the outer <a>, but on right-click gives us the
href from the inner <a>.

Curse you, Bugzilla, not that component.

Indeed, this is a dupe.
