345860 - Cannot display context menu for bookmarks using keyboard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 212750

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

Description

[Wayne DeAngelo]

Test environment: Bon Echo Nightly Build 20070724
Test done on IBM T42 ThinkPad.

Description:  

You cannot display the context menu for bookmarks using the keyboard.  The standard Windows keystroke for displaying a context menu is Shift+F10, but that does not work.   For example, to delete a bookmark, a blind or mobility impaired user is forced to use the "Organize bookmarks" dialog.  A sighted person using a mouse has much more usable option of right clicking on the bookmark and selecting "Delete" from the context menu.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure at least one bookmark is found in the Bookmarks menu pulldown
2. Press Alt+B to display bookmarks pulldown
3. Arrow down to a bookmark in the pulldown menu
4. Press Shift+F10
5. Instead of displaying the Context menu, the bookmark menu disappears.

Expected Result:
When Shift+F10 is pressed, the context menu should be displayed.  If you right-click the mouse on the bookmark, you will see the context menu.  (BTW, this works as expected when using Internet Explorer.)
