I also have this problem on a clean install of Precise. Mouse right click brings up the requested webpage in the current tab. It's a nuisance!

BTW on a PC which I upgraded from 64 bit Lucid to 64 bit Precise, the problem did not exist before & does not exist after the upgrade.

This behaviour is corrected if I disable Global Menu Bar integration 3.6.4 addon. Is this a good idea?

Disabling Global Menu Bar integration 3.6.4 addon also corrects slow display of Firefox folder contents documented in question 218373.

On a 4GB 6 month old PC which I upgraded from 64 bit Lucid to 64 bit Precise, I didn't get this problem. Due to other problems, I clean installed 32 bit Precise onto this PC and I had this problem.

This bug went away when I disabled the Global Menubar Integration extension/add-on. However, even though I still have the Global Menubar Integration extension disabled, it has now returned with a new version of Firefox as a result of recent updates to 12.04. I note that the Global Menubar Integration is no long shown in Firefox's list of add-ons (obtained using men item Tools>Add-ons).

PS I had the Global Menubar Integration extension disabled because it caused delays in displaying the contents of Bookmarks folders as well as causing this bug.
