Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 420148

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/2.0.0.8 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030714 Firefox/2.0.0.8

When right click on media embeds, the context menu that pops up at times does not pop up or requires user to keep right clicking multiple times until the context menu opens. This appears to be an Active X or plugin embed issue within version 3.0b4. 

At times the context menu may be unresponsive when using arrow keys or mouse to hover over menu items, using arrow keys sometimes doesn't even work to navigate through the menu items listings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up any page using media embeds in Firefox v3.0b4 preferably on a slower machine (1GHZ or less to really see this in action), go to YouTube for flash plugins, or test out quicktime, media player, real player plugins as well.
2. Upon opening a page with video or content embedded in it, right click on the plugin to bring up the context menu.
3. You'll notice that it does not bring up the context menu immediately, if it does, refresh the page and try again - you'll see that the context menu is not brought up each time.
4. Trying navigating through the context menu with the mouse or arrow keys after you finally manage to bring it open, it will not listen to keyboard commands.
Actual Results:  
As cited in details, the context menu becomes unresponsive and at times does not open at all.

Expected Results:  
Firefox as in previous versions, should open the context menu on 1 right click and display the options for that external plugin. Navigation throughs said list should be possible easily with mouse and keyboard commands such as action keys or arrow keys.

Mario, does the problem also occur in a recent Firefox trunk build?

Should be fixed in Firefox 3.0 rc2:

Please reopen the bug if it still occurs.
