Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080703 SeaMonkey/1.1.11

The right button menu is:

Back
Forward
Reload
Stop
Bookmark This Page
Save Page As...
Send Page...
---
View Background Image
Select All
---
View Page Source
View Page Info

When highlighting some text it changes:

Copy 
Select All
Search Web for "[highlit material]"
View Selection Source

I had some highlight material but wanted to View Background Image.
However, getting rid of the highlighting is nearlly impossible,
multiple clicking failed, so I finally reloaded my page.  I suggest
adding 'View Background Image' to the options available while highlighting.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. right click without highlight to get first menu mentioned above
2. right click with menu to get second menu

Actual Results:  
Some options are only available on one menu but would still be useful
on the other.

Expected Results:  
All possible menu options should be displayed.

Bookmark This Page would be useful too even while highlighting something!
In fact, ALL of the options when not highlight would be useful during
highlighting!

Are your materials images only?

The idea is that you get options in the menu that are relevant to the context. If we added all "normal" options it would just clutter the menu and would also make it hard to distinguish the (logically) relevant options. Note that 
if you select text in a web page, you can just left-click one time, then the highlighting disappears.
