I didn't say that you were clickling left mouse button accidentally! I said (or actually tried to say) that, on what I can see when this bug happens to me, it is exactly as if I would make a right click, then chose the closest item of the mouse pointer in the menu.

For example if I right click on a link, and if there is enough space under the link, the item under the mouse pointer is the first of the menu "open in a new window". And this is what happens what the bug appears. If there is not enough space under the link, then the menu appears above the mouse pointer, and the item is the last one, for me "block with adblock". And this is also the window that is opened when the bug appears. Same thing with the "bookmark" window.

So I'm pretty sure that just after a right click, a "virtual" left click is immediately made, leading to the behavior we can see in this bug. What we should find is what exactly "virtually presses" the left click button after a right click.
