Just to clarify -- the quoted chunk above isn't quite accurate.

The timing of context-menu-appearance in firefox 3 is actually correct
(and it matches Firefox 2) -- Firefox is *supposed* to show menus on
mouse-down, not on mouse-up.  This is how all GTK apps behave, including
e.g. nautilus. (right-click on your Gnome desktop, and you'll notice
that the menu appears on mouse-down there as well)

That's why installing MouseGestures is a workaround, but not a source
for a true fix.  It avoids this particular bug, but it moves Firefox
away from "correct" GTK behavior by delaying the menu's appearance until
mouse-up.
