I used to rely heavily on right clicking, but because of this bug, I
avoid it whenever possible.
I have run into this bug on every firefox3 instance I've ever
encountered, over two versions of Ubuntu and on wildly varying
hardware.
It seems the root issue is somewhat simple, that menus are being
raised on right click instead of after right click release. --though
I could be mistaken.
I recognize that rants don't belong in bug mailing lists, but I share
residentalien's frustration and I think it's probable that many others
do also.
I look forward very much to this issue being resolved, hopefully in
time for firefox 3.1
