[ubuntu-uk] 11.04 and Firefox 4
Trying out Ubuntu 11.04 still an dI noticed something in Firefox which puzzles me. My usual action with my bookmarks list is to right click in the list to open the chosen bookmark item in a new tab. But I do not seem to be able to do this in Firefox 4. Am I missing something here? Is there a function which replaces bookmarks going chosen going into tabs? My immediate workaround of the apparently lost feature is to first open an empty tab then choose the bookmark, but this is an -extra- click. What gives? -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I've just tested on the Windows version of Firefox 4 and when I right click on a bookmark I get an option to open in a new tab. I can't test on Ubuntu at the minute, but if nobody comes back to you, I'll have a look later on when I get home from work.

On FF 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 using Ubuntu Classic desktop, when I right click on a bookmark in the Bookmarks drop down menu (I assume that is what you are referring to) I get a context menu with Open, Open in new tab etc. When I do the same in Unity or Unity-2D it just goes to the link immediately. This would appear to be a bug in Unity. I cannot find it in Launchpad however. Colin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

This doesn't work because it just isn't supported at all by dbusmenu and unity. Note, that while we want to introduce modifier state in to the dbusmenu protocol (so that CTRL+click and SHIFT+click work properly), we won't be adding right-click support (ie, the context menu isn't coming back). AFAIK, Firefox was the only application to support this, and no other GTK application did. We want the menus to behave consistently across applications rather than having users open the menu and wondering whether right-clicking will perform the action under the pointer or open a context menu instead. The title of the bug report should probably be updated to reflect that.

I can understand the issue with right click providing a context menu as that is rather unusual. However to only have the importance marked as 'Wish List' for the Ctrl Click to open in a new tab, which is a useful feature that has been present in Ubuntu/FF and is now lost, seems too low an importance. I imagine that at the moment anything marked as just Wish List is unlikely to get done in the near future. Can you confirm whether the mods to fix it in Unity would also fix it in Unity-2D?

I have never used it till now, so, ctrl-click would open a tab, but what would shift-click do? -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
