368848 - Right clicking a linked image does not bring up a 'open in a new tab' or new window prompt

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 55696

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Colin B Maharaj]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

In this example there is text and an image that links to a new URL. The text gives to the option to load in a new TAB or WINDOW, but the linked image does not. It only gives the option to save the image.

Logically right clicking a LINKED image should give an option to open in a new TAB but does not in this case.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open URL Example (http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=firefox&hl=en)
2. Right Click Image and try to open in a new tab or window
3. Get disappointed
Actual Results:  
No option to open in a new TAB or WINDOW

Expected Results:  
Two new sub-menu items to open in a new tab and open in a new window, since opening in the same window may not be desireable.

Give two additional menu items to open in a new tab or in a new window for linked images.

The images doesn't have a direct link. The linking is done with JS and should be a dupe or wontfix

Ok guys (and gals if any), thanks for the quick response, sorry for the dup, I am a developer too so I know what it's like to have my time wasted...

But I swear this was a good one.
