Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 BuildID: 2002031104 Netscape 3.x had a neat feature that was lost in version 4 and higher. This feature is especially usefull when your link is slow. Feature as Netscape 3.x behaves Whenever the user requests a new link, the cursor changed to hourglass (win) and while it is waiting for the request to return data, the previous page is still displayed. Even with hourglass, if the user right-clicks anywhere (link, image, etc), you get the right-click menu with which you can, among others, open a link in a new window and navigate with multiple threads, giving the user multiple choises of reading and navigation while waiting for slower pages to load. I'd like to see this back in Mozilla as Netscape 4.x has removed this behaviour which I find extremly usefull. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mozilla does not feature the above. Load a page 2. click on a link (must have a slow connection) and while waiting for new page to load, previous page is still displayed. 3. while waiting for the new page, right-click, let's say a link. Nothing happens. Netscape 3 openes the right-click menu. Expected Results: Anytime a browser window contains a rendered page, expect right-click to open the right-click menu like Netscape 3 used to do, even if waiting for an already requested link to load. (cursor is hour-glass). See Netscape 3 behaviour.
