965676 - Context menu shows every possible command

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1005601

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Luke]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140115144847

Steps to reproduce:

Went to http://jsfiddle.net/bdougherty/HfwWY/light/
(Tried the page with all addons disabled, as well)


Actual results:

Right clicking a text box (for js/css input) gave an enourmous menu with items like "Play", "save image as", and others that don't make sense.

TypeError: spellchecker is null   /gre/modules/InlineSpellChecker.jsm:157
21:33:29.103 TypeError: gContextMenu is null     /browser/content/browser.xul:1


Expected results:

It should give correct text box context menu.

Hi,

I can confirm it in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 ID:20140406030203 CSet: 5fa70bd90a8b, on Debian Sid, in Safe Mode and also with a clean profile.

In normal mode seems intermittent: it doesn't happen always (just the first time you open the page) and it doesn't last indefinitely. Clearing history and/or cookies, or refreshing the page clearing the cache doesn't re-create the initial condition (ie: the extra-long context menu). 
With a clean profile and/or Safe Mode always happens.

As the initial reporter I got this in the browser console:

TypeError: spellchecker is null InlineSpellChecker.jsm:157
TypeError: gContextMenu is null browser.xul:1
TypeError: spellchecker is null InlineSpellChecker.jsm:157
TypeError: gContextMenu is null browser.xul:1


(the spellchecker error is when right-clicking, the gContextMenu when clicking again to make the menu disappear)

Works normally in Chromium Version 33.0.1750.152 Debian jessie/sid (256984).

I'm not sure, but could be a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725250

Let me know if you need more information.

Cheers,
Francesca

Thanks for filing.  This is the same as bug 1005601, which is newer than this bug, but I'm going to mark this one as a duplicate of that one since that one identifies the regressing changeset and is on the radar of several developers, including me.
