602224 - Right click different behavior

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect, P5)

Description

[John]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.13) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.5.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.13) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.5.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

While using browser if you right click a hyperlink and push T it will open the link in a new TAB.  If you do the same to the bookmark toolbar it will CUT the bookmark instead of opening it in a new TAB.  For some reason, W is the hot key to open a bookmark on the toolbar in a new TAB.

If you right click a hyperlink and push W, it will open it in a new window.  These two functions are not the same and its frustrating to keep cutting your bookmarks off the toolbar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Right click a hyperlink on a web page and push T, opens in a TAB
2.  Right click a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar and push T, cuts bookmark off toolbar.


Expected Results:  
Expect to be able to right click bookmark toolbar and have keyboard shortcut the same, T for open in New Tab.

This problem might be related to OS or UI Localization or whatever.

NOT reproducible with German Seamonkey 2.33.B1 Build 20150223174142 on German WIN7 64bit

@John:
What shorcut is shown in bookmark toolbar context menu for "cut" and for "open in new TAB"?

Firefox has no key to copy link since 88. It was removed and not replaced. This is completely unreasonable.

A replacement key that is unusable by human hands is not a replacement. It's not unlike telling people they can vote, if they stand in line for 8 hours without water. That is telling people that they can't vote.

Telling people that there is a new key, but it's across the room where NO ONE, NO HUMAN HAND can reach, is telling them that there is no key.

Firefox has NO KEY to copy link currently.

There was no reason to break this, and I want you to know that I am never going to stop reporting it, and I will be identifying the people who broke it, like Asif Youssuff, personally, until it is identified as the bug that it is.

You broke a browser that millions of people depended on for NO REASON. NO REASON. There was NO REASON TO REMOVE THE HOTKEY TO COPY LINKS FROM FIREFOX.

91.0.1 (64-bit) still the case (for Bookmarks in sidebar, at least)

I think this is a bug

"Right click on a link, hit T, that opens the link in a new tab" is how I would expect it to work. But it doesn't work like that
