Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When using Firefox 3.0.3 rather than opening the right click menu as normal, sometimes right clicking automatically selects an option in the right click menu. It does this with the Synaptics mouse installed on my laptop, as well as mice connected through the USB port.

I have noticed this as well. It might have something to do with JS. After modifying the JavaScript options in Firefox, it still happens on occasion, but much less frequently than before. From the Firefox menu bar, select Edit > Preferences. Click the Content tab. Next to 'Enable JavaScript', click the 'Advanced' tab. Uncheck the box next to 'Disable or replace context menus'. This should help, though as I said, I still occasionally experience this issue. Someone much more knowledgeable than I will need to look into this...
