Iceweasel/Firefox 3: how to work-around random/erratic right-click action
19th July 2008
When right-clicking many links in FF3/IW3, it quite often happens so that a random action is performed instead of opening the context menu (bug report).
One of the solutions work-arounds (suggested by Andre Pirard) is to slow-right-click, that is to hold the right mouse button down until the menu actually appears, then - and only then - release it. Or, you can even slow-right-click, move the pointer over the desired menu item, and then release - that will perform the desired action in a single long right click (instead of more common single right click with a following single left click.)
This bug/behaviour is otherwise unsolved.

This should not be titled as a fix but a work around, as it does not FIX the problem

Shane, you are right, I modified the post title.
