Per spec middle/right clicks shouldn't be dispatched to the web page.
"Secondary buttons (like the middle or right button on a standard mouse) MUST NOT fire click events. "
IIRC Gecko has still a bug that if you add listener to window object, you might get them.

If you want the behavior changed, please get the spec changed first.
Spec bugs can be filed https://github.com/w3c/uievents/issues/new

If the spec gets changed, feel free to reopen this bug or file a new Gecko bug.
