Gala: Firefox window right click context menu immediately selects menu item instead of staying open

[vjr]

This is on an updated Juno stable install with the Firefox browser.

If I select some text and just right click then a menu item from the opened context menu immediately gets selected/activated as if I had left clicked it.

I have to press and hold right click without releasing the mouse button to keep the menu open then pick an item (like, say, COPY) then release the button for it to get selected.

Hope I'm explaining it alright and I guess there may be related issues and PRs already but wanted to highlight this issue here.

This is not an issue in Gala. Apparently there is a Firefox setting for this which is enabled by default somehow.

Just as an FYI for anyone else I went to "about:config" and changed "ui.context_menus.after_mouseup" to true and it seems to have fixed it for me.

The bug is the default configuration. It should be set to true by default to match normal system behavior

@Tejeev and elementary does not provide or modify the default configuration. We don't develop Firefox, and it's not included in the OS.

Sorry, no idea why I thought this issue was on the firefox repo
