WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100109 Minefield/3.7a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) ID:20100109042837. Does this happen with the release candidate of 3.6? A bunch of bugs have been fixed since the last beta.

This is also happening with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100109 Minefield/3.7a1pre for me

This happens for all the operations you can do inside the context menu of those entries.

[Frank Yan (:fryn)]

The reason this occurs is because the tab context menu is not supposed to show up when right-clicking the all tabs menu. See bug 545592.

Henrik, this could be part of the test set for bug 551921.
