624735 - No pop up menu on right click of radio button, check box or select list

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 433168

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Geoff Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0b8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b8

If I right click on a select box or radio button in a form no pop up menu occurs. The cursor changes to a pointing hand when the mouse moves over the box, but I can't get a right click pop-up. I want to use this with the Autofill Forms extension to set rules for the form elements. I can get a pop up context menu when right clicking on input text boxes and text areas.

However I've tried running FF4b8 in safe mode with all extensions disabled and I still get the problem so it's not caused by any active extensions.

I have also tried re-installing FF4.0b8 and using the safe mode option to "reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults".

This is on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine. Oddly on my work machine (windows 7 64 bit) I can get a pop up, so it may be OS specific?
