Bug 115396 - [RFE] Context menu for EMBED elements with missing plug-in

If a user doesn't have a plug-in installed, the EMBED tag displays a "puzzle piece" icon. It would be nice if I could right-click the puzzle piece to save the linked media file in order to view it in an external program.

Steps to reproduce

To reproduce this bug in Mozilla build 2001121309 for Windows ME:
  1. Make sure you don't have QuickTime's plug-in (or any other plug-in that can play MIDI files, such as the troublesome Plugger) installed.
  2. Open the attached test case, or any page that uses the EMBED element to play a MIDI file.

    Here, you see bug 56106.
  3. Right-click the "Click here to find a plugin" area.

Actual results

A window appears containing a banner and a link to Netscape.com to search for plug-ins that can play MIDI files. In other words, it treats right-clicks as left-clicks.

Expected results

A contextual menu appears, including options to open the file referenced in the EMBED element's SRC attribute with an external program and to save it to disk.

Etc

This is not bug 58723 (downloading the plug-in itself). I'm pretty sure it's not bug 88996 (plug-ins' own context menus not showing) either.
