User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20171110100139

Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/ and right click on any menu item.


Actual results:

Expected results:

Only the context menu should show up. I am able to reproduce this in an empty profile and it is not reproducible in Chromium.

I have tested this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 with the latest Firefox release (57.0) and the latest Nightly (59.0a1-20171114220116) and haven't managed to reproduce it.
After navigating to the provided URL, when right-clicking any menu item, the link is opened in the same tab and also the context-menu shows up. 

Can you please retest this using the latest Firefox release and latest Nightly build and report back the results? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause (https://goo.gl/AR5o9d).

I am able to reproduce it in both nightly and the latest release with an empty profile. This bug resulted in a question from SUMO so I think it was a problem for another user as well.

This seems to be a duplicate of bug 1171093.

I am not able to reproduce it any more in stable and nightly. It was either fixed by Firefox or the website. I am asking questioner in SUMO to check at their end as well.
