BUILD: Current trunk Firefox nightly (no places)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1)  Install Firefox trunk build on Mac OS 10.4 for the first time.
2)  Add a bookmark to some page.
3)  Decide to change the properties of that bookmark.
4)  Hit Apple-B to get the bookmarks UI, as usual in browsers.
5)  Ctrl-click on the bookmark to get a context menu.
6)  Select the "Properties" option.

ACTUAL RESULTS: At step 5, the bookmark starts loading in the content area.  At step 6, nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULTS:  At step 5 no load starts, and at step 6 I get a sheet that allows me to edit the bookmark properties or something.  Alternately, at step 4 the "Organize Bookmarks" window comes up instead of the broken sidebar.
Is this a regression?
In 20060927 build, there is no problem. 
I think that it is a problem that moves to Cocoa widget perhaps by bug326469 and occurs. 

Mac OS X 10.3.9

Firefox trunk 2006-09-28-08 --> works fine

Firefox trunk 2006-09-29-06 --> issue exists

For me, I don't get the context menu at step 5 the first time - but I'll get it the second time I try (I don't have a more recent Firefox build at hand atm, so the behaviour could have changed since 2006-09-29). The bookmark always load when I Ctrl-click, though.

So, to me it looks like Ctrl-click is interpreted as left-click (shouldn't) and right-click (after the initial Ctrl-click - at least for me) at the same time.

There is some similarity with SeaMonkey bug 357417 - Ctrl-clicking on any link will result in a dead contextmenu flashing up the same time as the link loads in a new window/tab (depending on your settings).

In Firefox, there's a similar "Ctrl-click behaves as left-click" if you Ctrl-click on a bookmark in the personal toolbar (or whatever it's called): For me, the bookmark will load at the same time as the context menu opens.

Step 5's loading problem was fixed as bug 362812, and step 6's nothing happens problem looks to be comment 3's "not the first time, but the second" which is bug 368397 - nothing's selected, so you don't get a context menu for nothing.
