You can only see them after you click on ">>". There appears a sort of dropdown box. But then the right click functions (open in new tab for example) doesnt work anymore when you hoover above those links. So i cant open those link in a new tab. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
confirmed for Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040324 works fine for me in FF0.8 nightly
I searched and could not find a duplicate for this (though bug 59132 and 72361 are related to your bug description). I see the problem in Mozilla 1.7b 2004032609 under XP Pro and CONFIRM your finding. Firefox 0.8 and MSIE 6 for Windows allow right-click contextmenu in overflow (extended) menu. ">>" sign is a chevron sign. Overflow menu is regularly mentioned in bugfiles. So, I modified your summary to help eventual search for bugs.

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/browser/resources/content/navigator.xul#299 - <menupopup onpopupshowing="if (event.target == this) BookmarksToolbar.updateOverflowMenu(this);"/> + <menupopup context="bookmarks-context-menu" + onpopupshowing="if (event.target == this) BookmarksToolbar.updateOverflowMenu(this);"/>
I assumed that adding context="bookmarks-context-menu" was all we needed, but that was not the case. Maybe we need to modify 'createTreeContextMenu'. Pierre should know what we need for this. Darn, I tried to CC Pierre Chanial (chanial@noos.fr) but that failed. I guess he changed his e-mail address...
As you may have noticed, no entry (=bookmark) in a folder in the personal toolbar has a context menu, so this overflow folder also doesn't provide context menus. Implementation is slightly different, but apart from that, this is almost bug 50504.

This is still a problem in Firefox 3 on Mac OS X.
