I have NO clue whether this is related to this or not (or just Firefox bad programming) but I'm getting a lot of miss clicks on my right click (have been for ages). For example, right clicking on a tab opens 2 context menu's. The one that'd open for the page and the one for the tab.

I have noticed little dumb things like that in other GTK apps as well. The file chooser for example requires a move in/out of the open button to actually open the selected item.

However this is definitely not a Gentoo bug I think, and there isn't much we can do about it anyhow.

verified also on x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.7-r1 .

If it is still valid with latest gtk+, maybe send this directly to upstream (bugzilla.gnome.org) would be better...
