433658 - Firefox 3b5 mouse right click erratic results

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 404314

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[simon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5

When a hyperlink is right clicked the result is varied.  Sometimes the menu list appears, others a thunderbird compose window opens with the hyperlink's url in the body, sometimes a new tab opens with the page the hyperlink was pointing to, and other times a download box appears attempting to download the file that the hyperlink is pointing to.

I cannot replicate this issue on demand as it occurs erratically.  Sometimes one action is executed and other times it's another action.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right Click Hyperlink
2. See what action occurs
3.
Actual Results:  
I right clicked on the 'home' hyperlink at the top of this bug submission page four times.
1. right click menu
2. new tab
3. right click menu
4. opened Thunderbird's compose window with URL in body

Expected Results:  
Only display the right click menu
