543908 - Right-click on a button inside of a link should do something

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 433168

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

The upper-left hand logo on YouTube is basically <a><button></a>, but styled so it doesn't look like a button. If you right-click on this logo, you should at least get a context menu for link actions. Instead, nothing happens.

Possible dupe of bug 449017?

Does it mean no context menu opens at all for you? I get one.

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

Trunk nightlies have not context menu for the case I described, both OS X and Windows.

Ah on trunk. I see. So it is working fine for me on 1.9.2. Means we have a regression on trunk.

I don't think so because that regression is new.

isn't this covered by Bug 433168 already?
i do not get a context menu for 1.9.0 branch builds and newer on windows xp.

if you have firebug 1.4+ installed, it enforces the availability of the context menu (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433168#c53).
so Henrik, either you have Firebug installed on your 1.9.2 test profile or it's a mac osx only regression :-).

Yeah, that's true. I have Firebug installed in one profile. Running it again in a profile without Firebug the context menu doesn't appear. Thanks for pointing to bug 433168.
