(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3

When opening a new tab from the bookmarks toolbar, switching back to the original toolbar results in the next right click on any bookmark icon in the toolbar will have the 3 open choices and properties disabled in the context menu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar, select "open in new tab".
2. Left click on the original tab so that it displayed again.
3. Right click on any bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar.


Actual Results:  
"Open', "Open in a New Window", "Open in a New Tab", and "Properties" are all disabled.  A second right click enables them again. (See url for a screenshot).

Expected Results:  
They should be enabled on the first click.

-It feels like I see this disabled context menu often, although this is the first time I've been able to pin it down / reproduce it.
-Doesn't seem to be a timing issue, since you can wait for tabs to load, or hurry before they finish, and it still happens.
-Tried it with extensions disabled.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
