I think I know what is happening. I am experiencing the same bug in Ubuntu.

I right click a link and I get a menu, and I decide not to click anything on that link. (i.e. I click outside the menu). Now when I right click on a link below the one I had right clicked previously, Firefox seems to take the action that was going to happen had I clicked on that location on the screen when I had opened the menu from my previous right click.

So if you go to Google and right click on one link. Then left click outside the menu. Return and right click on the link below (vertically bellow, not to the side), you will end up clicking "Save Link As".

Please do solve this bug.

Also: (Please forgive me if this isn't related) I had experienced a similar problem with FF2 on Gutsy. If I opened a LiveBookmark, and I right clicked on an item, I would get a menu with what I would have got if I right clicked on the page itself. If I clicked out of that menu, then I would see the menu I was supposed to see ("Open", "Open in New Window", "Open in New Tag", - , "Copy")

Thanks
