307956 - Firefox 1.5 BETA 1: "gContextMenu.linkURL()" seems to have been broken when called from extensions

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 307949

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Alexander M Beedie]

User-Agent:       Opera/8.10 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

in earlier builds of firefox, _and_ DeerPark Alpha 2, "gContextMenu.linkURL()" 
correctly returned the url of a given context link (eg: if on anchor or linked 
image) -- in firefox 1.5 BETA 1 it fails, throwing out of the javascript that 
called it.

temporary workaround is to call "gContextMenu.link.href" instead, but breaking 
the convenience function could cause a lot of unecessary headaches for extension 
developers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. call gContextMenu.linkURL() from an extension's javascript (eg: in a popup 
handler)
2. "boom"

Actual Results:  
throws

Expected Results:  
gContextMenu.linkURL() should have returned the correct link/href, equal to 
"gContextMenu.link.href"
