Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 248963

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050618 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050618 Firefox/1.0+

One of the features that I like very much in Firefox is the Go-menu.
But when I want to copy an URL from that Go-menu to my clipboard, there is no
rightclick menu ("Copy Link Location") available to accomplish that.
So I first need to click the Go-menu link and subsequently copy the URL in the
locationbar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Go on your menubar
2. Rightclick a menuitem


Actual Results:  
No contextmenu pops up.

Expected Results:  
Rightclicking on a item should show a rightclick menu with an option to copy the
link location.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "go menu". If you want to copy an address out
of the location bar all you have to do is right click it and copy it. And if you
want to copy a location of a bookmark then you just right click it and click
"copy".

He even gave the steps to show the go menu >_>

This would be useful, wouldn't be surprised if a bug on this was already filed
though.

This is probably a dupe of bug 248963 then.

Adding the copy option would require adding a context menu and be part of any
such addition.
