Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Nate]

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

If Firefox opens on Monitor #1 and I click and drag (maximized window) to Monitor #2 or #3, the right-click menu of each link in the bookmarks TOOLBAR have grayed out options so I can NO LONGER "open", "open in a new window", and "open in a new tab."

Only time the options are available is the initial opening on Firefox on its respective screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox for the first time (in monitor #1 it opens)
2. Click and drag (maximized) window to monitor #2
3. Right click on one link in the bookmark TOOLBAR
4. Majority of menu options are grayed out (no longer available)
Actual Results:  
Grayed out (unavailable options) menu from a right-click on a link

Expected Results:  
Menu should have "open", "open in a new window", and "open in a new tab" available.

It happens to me, too, but not always.
I have a single monitor.
Still present in 3.0.5 (Windows).
Workaround: right-clicking again.

I've had this happen on both mutli-monitor and single-monitor machines. I have to close the context menu and re-open it to make all the options available.

Is this still a problem with Firefox 3.5.7 or 3.6RC2?

I have not seen this issue anymore since long time.
For sure, not in any 3.5.x
