Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; N; PPC; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001108 Netscape6/6.0 BuildID: Netscape 6 See IE5. For a link, holding down the mouse over the link brings up the contextual menu for that link. Very frequently I forget to hold down the control key before clicking on a link (I'm used to IE5) when I'm trying to open the link in a new window. The only way to cancel the opening of the link then is to drag the link to the title bar. This is annoying. Why not make it so holding down the mouse brings up the context menu also? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Find a link on a page; hold down mouse over link. Actual Results: The link is followed in the same window unless I explicitly subsequently drag the link to the title bar or the menu bar. Expected Results: If I continue to hold down the mouse, the contextual menu (same as ctrl-clicking on the link) should appear.
Looks like a duplicate of bug 18726.
Is a duplicate of bug 18726 (which is, sigh, still low priority). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18726 ***
