The extension listens to both the click and the contextmenu events and prints the relevant button when it gets a click event.

Chrome will fire the click event for left (opt.value = “left 0 1”) and middle click (opt.value = “middle 1 2”) and the contextmenu event for right click. It will also show a context menu.

Firefox 55 - fire only click event for left click and contextmenu event for right click.
Firefox 56b, 57a - fire only click event for left click.

This seems to be a dupe of 1381344, since the event fires when you move the popup to the overflow menu.
