Web authors, via JavaScript, are allowed to disable the user's use of the
right-click context-sensitive menu.  This is an obvious flaw.  My web browser
should respect *my* wishes, not capitulate to the desires of the web author. 
Please add a checkbox in the Preferences -> Advanced -> Scripts & Plugins ->
"Allow scripts to..." list to turn off this behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a retarded page such as http://www.kazaalite.tk/.
2. Attempt to right-click the page, or a hyperlink.
3. Observe brain-damage.

Actual Results:  
Began to fume at (1) **** page designers and (2) Mozilla.

Expected Results:  
Opened the context menu as normal.
Please observe some better language in a public forum such as this.
