99710 - Right clicking on news url doesn't show 'Open in new window' in context menu

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 75338

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Arnoud Berendsen]

Build 2001091303 (0.9.4) on Win32:

Right clicking on a news:// url doesn't show the 'Open in new window' and 'Edit
Link in Composer' items in the context menu. I'm not entirely sure if 'Edit link
in composer' would make sense for news:// urls but 'Open in new window' should
at least be there. Note that CTRL-clicking the url does open it in a new window.

See the www.mozillazine.org frontpage article about 0.9.4 being released to see
the problem (it links to a mozilla builds newsgroup article).

news:// URLs are indeed wrong. We are missing most of the link menu from the
news:// URL context menu. Don't see this reported (although it might be a part
of the "clean up context menus" metabugs.) see bug 75338 for more info.

adding dependency.

a couple of test links:

news:netscape.public.test
news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.test

not sure if this should be blake's or bill's. ie, who's going to be doing the
context menu overhaul [see bug 75338] for the browser?

Marking dup of 75338 because I will fix it as part of that and carefully 
scrutinize all that bug's dups, but it's not helping me to have all these 
separate issues open.
