menu on mouse click as was in NN4

[Ezh]

From a newsgroup:

In Netscape version 4.7 and older, when I right-clicked
the screen, the menu popped up as soon as I clicked, rather
than when I released. Now in NS7 to go back a page I have
to click, release, move down, click again and release again
versus only a click, move down, and release in older versions.
That's a 40% increase in steps. Any way to change NS7 to
behave like NS4.7 in this regard?

There was an old-old bug for it, but can someone tell the number (cannot search now by myself, sorry)?

i also liked nn4 menu better. i miss the 'view source' option when clicking on image, the filename of the image in the context-menu (it was very helpful to know the filename when developing websites) and so on. i think it has been discussed often enough on mozillaZine ...

Nope.

Early versions had this, but they decided it was more important to make the right click menus operate like the rest of the operating system. There was an uproar at the time they did this (About a year or two ago) but they wouldn't change it back.

I liked NS4´s way of doing it, but today you´ve got other options.
If you have a wheel mouse, you can configure the wheel for going back and forth.
Or you can install mouse gestures, a feature, I liked from Opera,
but didn´t install for mozilla.
