That's because on reload the checkbox state is out of sync with the internal JS state of the page. That is, the checkbox remains checked if you reload the page while it is checked, but the code on the page is not cancelling the contextmenu events. The same behavior happens with the other check boxes. This is a bug in the test page, not in Fennec.
