Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Brian]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Added Slashdot's [Slashdot.org] Live Feed [http://slashdot.org/index.rss]. 
Click on Bookmarks, Slashdot, and right click any news item and click Open In
New Tab.  No new tab is loaded, and Firefox appears to do nothing.  Only seems
to happen with Slashdot's, but it worked in Firefox 1.0.0 - 1.0.6 (I never tried
with older versions)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Added Slashdot Live RSS Feed from http://slashdot.org/index.rss
2. Navigated to live bookmark, right click on any news item
3. Select Open In New Window.

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Open the particular News item in a new tab.

The slashdot feed was automatically imported from Firefox 1.0.6, I did not add
it manually to 1.5 Beta

Yeah... let me take a wild guess and say that your bookmarks toolbar menu item
is hidden.

Turns out I was wrong. This is probably a dupe of bug 246158. Reporter, do you
have the bookmarks item on your toolbar hidden? Also, when you restart Firefox
do you see a blank tooltip appear when you right click? If so then please mark
this as a dupe.

No, all my Bookmark toolbar items seem to work as described, and when I restart
Firefox all menu items appear normally.  I click 'Bookmarks' on the main File
menu, click Slashdot (the live bookmark) and then right-click on any item and
click 'Open in New Tab'.

A complete restart of the computer seems to have fixed the issue.  I've rebooted
the machine numerous times in between and the issue remained, so I'm not really
sure what could cause it.  It may be more of a problem with my machine.  Feel
free to close this bug.
