My idea is that a menu is being opened on mouse down and another one on mouse up.

The following Ubuntu bug has the same idea.

I can actually get three context menus to display at the same time on my computer by right clicking in the address bar, or the toolbar, followed by another right click in the tab bar, and the second time three menus are showing, one for Undo, Paste etc. The second for Back, Forward View Page Source, etc. and the third as a bug I think from the Tab Mix Plus Extension with its New Tab, Closed Tab List etc options.

Interestingly, I can avoid having the second menu display in any of these situations by right clicking, and then dragging the mouse before I release it, in which case only the first menu shows. The first menu being the Undo, Paste etc for the address bar, Navigation Toolbar, Customise Toolbar etc for the toolbar, and the Tab Mix Plus menu for the tab bar.

This issue wouldn't overly be a pain, but if I click in the second menu, I have to also click on the first menu or hit ESC to get it to disappear. And to get to the first menu I have to click somewhere on the screen to make the second one disappear.

I am using Gentoo Linux with the following version BTW.
