Details
In Nightly 88.0a1 (2021-03-11) using a Macbook Pro
Steps to reproduce:
- Hold shift and using trackpad (or mouse) multi-select opened tabs
- Hold ctrl and tap on trackpad on any selected tab
Expected:
Context menu opens with multi-selected tabs still selected
Actual:
Only the tab that the context menu opened from is selected and other tabs are deselected
I haven't tested this on a PC laptop so not sure if the issue is also there

The macOS widget code for Ctrl+click fires mousedown before it fires contextmenu. That first mousedown is probably what causes the selection to be reset.
Here's a comment which claims that "Gecko [...] expects the mouse down event before the context menu event":

This code is 13 years old so it's probably worth revisiting.
