cannot detete bookmark in ubuntu 11.04

Asked by rambull fung

I recently upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 from 10.10. I am using firefox. While I can add to bookmark, but I cannot DELETE from it. The mouse left click and right click produce the same action when I use it on bookmark. The mouse right click works fine when I use it on the desktop to change the background. Please help! Thanks in advance.

I am using a Dell Inspiron 1501. After upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04, the mouse right click doesn't work on the top menu bar. It works on the desktop. Example, when I right click in the middle of the screen, it opens a small box with the option to change the desktop background, which I did. But when I move the mouse pointer to the top menu bar, the right click doesn't work anywhere along that bar from left to right. both the left and right click has the same function. I can use the left or right click to shut off the computer, to set the volume, or the network manager applet.
When using firefox, I can add to bookmark because the mouse right click works inside the window. But when I move the pointer up the top menu bar to where the "Bookmark" is, right click is the same as left click. Another word, the right click doesn't work as right click on the top bar.

Sorry for the delay. I've been busy. I switched to guest user and tested it . The same problem exist. The right click doesn't work on the top menu bar, it's the same as a left click. I hope this info is helpful. Thank you.

Then you have a bug, if a user with vanilla settings gets the same effect then the application is at fault, not user settings.
