Dear all,

i have a strange problem. When you surfing for example on http://www.heise.de,  click on a link and just in the same moment you right-click on a flash banner (if anyone is there), the side of the link you clicked will appear, but also the menu of the flash, wich isn't there anywhere. 

At this moment you'll also loose the focus on your keyboard and mice, wich means, that you could move your mice, but it won't recognize a input of it's buttons anymore and your keyboard won't respond to any interaction. 

This bug is mostly reproducible, but i had often the case, that nothing happens and all worked fine.

King regards
Thomas

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit for example http://www.heise.de, or any side with links and flash-items

2. Click on a link and in the same moment right click on a flash banner

3. Wait until the link will be loaded, after that mice and keyboard won't respond anymore.

Actual Results:  
Needed to kill the firefox-process, after that, keyboard and mice were reacting normally.


Actually i think, this bug is critical, because you need to kill firefox and in this case, you'll loose all data of your session. Please let me know, if the severity is wrong set.
