Description Max Arnold 2009-01-08 18:45:48 UTC
After upgrading to firefox 3 (3.0.5) I've noticed erratic behaviour - right click on link sometimes does not show popup menu but instead invokes random command from this menu. This happens more often if CPU load is high.

Problem can be avoided by pressing right mouse button slightly longer, but anyway it is very annoying.

I am not only one who experienced this. There are similar bugreports here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/206295

And a whole bunch of duplicate bugs on mozilla bugtracker, which are currently reduced to this one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404314

I've applied patch from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=353441 to xulrunner-1.9.0.5 and it solved this issue for me (although more testing is probably required, I'll report if problem happens again).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Well, about week of usage showed that bug still exists, although it happens less frequently...

patch to fix erratic popup behaviour

This is a patch from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406646 backported to firefox-3.0.6 (in fact, xulrunner-1.9.0.6).  Probably I'm again reporting success too quickly, but it works for me.  More reports here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404314

Well, firefox 3.0.x not in tree anymore, and bug finally has been fixed in 3.5.
