I'm using Precise 64 bit with Firefox 23.0. I've also tried the nightly build of firefox-trunk (version 26.0a1) but the bug wasn't fixed in that. I'm baffled by how the status of this bug against Global Menubar Extension is 'Fix committed' when that addon seems now to have been withdrawn for Ubuntu.
I've reported this bug as bug 913556 against Firefox in Bugzilla. Judging by the number of bugs in Firefox which are not allocated, I wonder if it will ever be fixed! Re David Marzal's suggestion of using the addon bug582139: I've installed it & restarted Firefox, clicked View>Toolbars>Customise but I don't see any Bookmarks icon with an arrow by it in the popup containing icons. Nor do I see it anywhere else. If I use the standard Bookmarks icon, I still get the same incorrect behaviour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/748850 Title: Can't middle or right click on bookmarks to open in new tab Status in Unity global menubar extension for Firefox and Thunderbird: Fix Committed Status in DBus Menu: Won't Fix Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “libdbusmenu” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox With the new menu placed above the firefox window, I can no longer middle click a bookmark from the bookmarks menu to open in a new tab.
