Appears to be a common issue as confirmed by several users in the
forums:

Attempts to right-click to bring up the menu will frequently result in
Firefox seemingly randomly picking something off of the menu and
applying it rather than simply displaying the menu; sometimes opening a
link in a tab, sometimes opening in a new window, sometimes starting an
email entry, etc.

To update, this has now been reported in the forums as also present on
10.3 systems that have updated to FF3, so may be something specifically
with FF3 rather than the 11.0 packaging specifically.

I had this problem in 11.0  after upgrade to Firefox 3, and I still have
it in 11.1 with Firefox 3.

My current plugins are adblock plus, flashblock, Tab Mix Plus, cookie

I also experience this in openSUSE 11.1 x86-64. It's been going on since
I first installed 11.1, and the behaviour hasn't changed with any of the
updates. I currently have all updates installed (newest kernel, Firefox
3.0.6, etc). I only use official openSUSE repo packages.

I never experienced it in openSUSE 11.0.

This issue is bugging me since 2007!
I had the same problem with PCLinuxOS 2007, openSUSE 11.0 and now openSUSE 11.1.

This is definitely not a Firefox-only issue, see also
http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/388116-11-0-firefox-3-right-click-menu-issues.html

It happens to me with all applications (it's just worst with Firefox, of
course).

I really think this is a Xorg issue/bug! (mainly with KDE(?); PS/2
mouses(?))

The right-click menu sometimes seems to be too near by the mouse
pointer, depending on the screen position. The bug only occurs if you do
right-clicks at specific screen positions, mainly at the bottom-right
corner (in the area(s) where the menu is 50:50 to be right-'above' or
right-'below' the mouse pointer on a right click; => menu direction
switching point). Then, an option (the nearest one reached) is selected
and clicked (right click) at once. What is clicked depends on how the
menu is shown, above or below the pointer.

Note that I also had the 'crazy mouse' bug on PCLinuxOS 2007, see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:X_Server_Configuration_with_SaX2_(8.1_or_Higher)#Known_Problems_and_Their_Solutions

... maybe this is/was related (PS/2 issue?)? ... although not having
that problem with openSUSE so far.

----
Changing component to X.Org, as this isn't a Firefox bug for sure!

Is there a way to configure the X11/X.Org menu behaviour? Distance from
mouse pointer e.g.?

I was using a PS/2 mouse when I initially had the problem, but I also
have the same problem after switching it out with a USB mouse.

I had no issues with Firefox under openSUSE 11.0 until I upgraded to
Firefox 3, and I have had not had the problem in any applications other
than Firefox 3 under openSUSE 11.1.

The link to the Ubuntu bug given by Wiki Melancholie says that the bug
will be fixed in Firefox 3.0.11, and the workaround in the meantime is
to hold the right button down until the menu appears.  I have confirmed
this works with FF 3.0.9 under openSUSE 11.1 with my PS/2 trackball.

For Firefox the upstream report is
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404314

This confirms that 3.5b4 (as in Factory) and 3.0.11 (when it gets
released) for older distributions will have that bug fixed.

So is this report about Firefox only? Then I'm going to change the
component and close it once 3.0.11 is released.

Yes, that's for Firefox only. Sorry, I didn't see that we have a
seperate Firefox component.

Hmm, does someone know why this behaviour (see comment #5) also occured
in Konqueror for me sometimes (at least for v3; so, not having noticed
that with my fresh 11.1 install yet, maybe because of different screen
resolution/KDE v4). Will have an eye on this...

But nice to know that in less than a month this will be past for
Firefox, where it definitely was most annoying, although less harmful
actually ;-)
