Title:
Context menu does not form on passwords fields
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
As many people I use a password manager in order to manage my logins.
For that I simply copy/paste the username and password in the
respective fields from another application. Given some webpages block
this by JavaScript, I have the following about:config preference:
dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled=false
This mostly as an information, because it doesn't seem to affect the
problem.
Take a login page (I tried AliExpress - https://login.aliexpress.com/), and
right click in the username field. A context menu is shown, containing
-amongst others- "Paste".
Click right in the password field, and the context menu is not shown. I
would expect it to be shown.
Using Ctrl-V does work.
I tried a recreated profile in order to exclude profile-based issues.
The same happens.
This does not happen on Ubuntu 16.04LTS
(59.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.3) with equivalent version Firefox
(59.0.2)
I am not 100% sure this is a firefox issue. Perhaps this is Gnome
related, because I use the default interface on each installation:
Unity on 16.04LTS and Gnome3 on 18.04LTS.
