Alexander, I agree with everyone that says that disabling accessibility is not a workaround. In my case it was never enabled. Installing MouseGestures solved the problem for me. I understand that this is not a true fix for the problem but changing the behavior for Firefox right click through a patch instead of installing MouseGestures would be a way to calm down the frustration of users that already have noticed this bug but haven't reported yet because many users (the most I guess) don't know how to solve their problems through launchpad or irc (otherwise this bugreport would be a thousand times longer) . What I propose is to release a package with this workaround and make people who have this problem get informed that can install that package (maybe through ubuntu webpage as a known issue). I propose this just because as others have said before, Firefox is the default webbrowser in ubuntu and webbrowsing is an important task in a desktop, so the first impression that a new ubuntu user can have might be so frustrating that it would prevent him to consider ubuntu linux as an alternative to his actual OS, and the importance of this bug should be consider critical.
This just as a workaround until you reach to a real solution.
