860418 - Context menu has too many entries

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[shao.lo]

Attachment: The top of the context menu

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0
Build ID: 20130329030414

Steps to reproduce:

Right click on a web page (background, edit box, button, link, etc).


Actual results:

The context menu that is displayed now has way too many items (like it has no context, but every possible item).


Expected results:

The context menu should only contain items that apply.  This issue started for me in version 19 with only 2 extra context menu items (Copy Video Location and Copy Audio Location) for links.  In version 20, the context menu is so long now it won't fit on the screen (screen shot attached).  Also, the context menu choices for copy and paste don't function.  The paste menu entry is disabled when it should not be (using the keyboard shortcut will paste even when paste is disabled).

This issue does not affect my Windows Firefox (also at version 20), only Linux (Ubuntu).

Because your profile is full of extensions which add many entries in the context menu.

Try in sa

*sorry*

Try in safe mode, I'm sure the height will be back to normal.

The safe mode context menus are indeed correct.

When I disable the "Global Menu Bar integration 3.9" (https://launchpad.net/globalmenu-extension), the menu goes back to near correct.  It still contains the Copy Video Location and Copy Audio Location entries (that do not apply).

When I disable the "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 2.6" the menu goes back to near correct.  It still contains the Copy Video Location and Copy Audio Location entries (that do not apply).  The Copy and Paste items are returned and are functional.

As it's up to the user to manage his extensions, the bug is invalid.

This is a Firebug issue (see bug 823072)

Thanks Chris!  Sorry for the bad report.  I thought I was thorough...guess not.
