*Probably* since the places-bookmarks landing, it is not possible to right-click on bookmarks in *folders* on the personal-toolbar/bookmarks-bar. In Sm 2.0 and still in Sm 2.1b3pre nightlies on Windows, a right-click on such a bookmark opens the context-menu. On Mac with Sm 2.1 it's not the case anymore.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a folder on the personal toolbar
2) Place a bookmark in that folder
3) Open the folder and right-click on that bookmark

Current result:
-nothing happens

Expected result:
-context menu opens
Can you still reproduce this in current SeaMonkey versions?

Yes, I still can reproduce it in 2.14b3-candidate (build1)
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: INCOMPLETE → ---
Is this reproducible in Safe Mode?
Can you also check, in what exactly build problem appeared? 2.1b builds archive for original report date is here - http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/2011/02/

If it disappeared with the places landing, it might be that places handles this correct. It's not a standard Mac behaviour.

The bug (if it's a bug) seems to be Mac-only: I can't reproduce it on this Linux x86_64 trunk build (right-clicking "Most Visited" on the Bookmarks toolbar drops a context menu: Open all in tabs | New Bookmark… New Folder… New Separator… | Cut Copy (Paste) | Delete | Properties).

Opening a context menu by right-clicking not a standard Mac behaviour? Well, well, well, it seems I still have to learn a lot about Mac standards.

Ok, it does not work in Firefox for Mac (16.0.2) either... But I still think it is a regression...

> It's not a standard Mac behaviour.

Ok, right-click in folders on Mac Safari as well as Opera does not work. It seems like it does only work with Google Chrome.

Yes, Mac-only.

Just to be clear: this bug is about not being able to open a context menu by right-clicking a menuitem (in an already opened menu) and that is not mac standard.
