It seems to only happen for the first time you use "save link as." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a page with files to download http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ for example. 2. Right click one of the links 3. Select "Save link as" Actual Results: The context menu does not go away. Expected Results: The context menu should disappear. The problem seems to go away after the first download.
No problem here. Windows only? Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5
Sorry, nevermind the windows question. :)
> No problem here. Windows only? > Hmm, did you try downloading something immediately after launching firefox? The problem seems to resolve itself after you try to download something the first time, so if you used an instance of firefox that had been open for a while it probably wouldn't show the problem. Or maybe my linux install is to blame. I'm using mandriva 2006 with kde 3.4.2 and whatever the latest Xorg is.
I created a new profile (mkdir /tmp/x ; firefox -profile /tmp/x), the 1.5b page loads, then pasted the ftp url and right click (win32.complete.mar) -> save as. Does this happen whenever you run start firefox or just for the first run after an upgrade? Could this be gtk2-specific? I'm using 2.6.10-1 (unstable debian) and cannot reproduce at home or work. Sorry for the late reply, forgot to cc myself. :P

After I download one thing, the problem is fixed until I close firefox and open it again. I hope that makes sense. Are you using gnome or kde? I think my problem might be because I am using kde, and firefox is built with gtk.

I suppose it's possible that there's a window manager issue, but that seems unlikely. I was thinking that gtk may be to blame, a bug in your version or something...
Now that I think of it, this did come about around the same time I upgraded to mandriva 2006. So you're probably right about it being a gtk problem. I think I will go ahead and mark this bug invalid.

A lot of people are seeing this lately, this is tracked in bug 305970. So, I'm reopening and duping against that bug (which doesn't mean that it's not a gtk issue, it just indicates that futher investigation is needed).
