Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

This is a wish, not a bug.  In Opera, when I pasted a link into the location bar,  there was a right click option, "Paste and Go" .   I never realized how handy this was.  I'd like to see this in Firefox.

This usually arises because I can't get Kmail to recognise FF as the default browser, so to open a URL in an email, I have to cut and paste.  
Thus the better solution to this is making it easier to have FF open URLs in emails, specifically from Kmail.

PS- I would use Tbird for email if I could integrate it with SpamBayes as easily as I can in Kmail.    operator option= "Filter through (SpamBayes)"

Super product overall!





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.copy URL
2.position cursor over location bar
3. Right click for menu

Actual Results:  
"Paste" is the only relevant option.  ( NOt "Paste and Go".)

Expected Results:  
"Paste" is the only relevant option

Offer option on right click menu, right click option, "Paste and Go" .

Even faster: just use middle-click to paste the URL. It's the default on Linux, otherwise you need to set middlemouse.contentLoadURL to true (in about:config). For a keyboard shortcut : bug 254906.

There's an extension if you prefer an entry in the context-menu :
