Steps to reproduce:
Stumbled onto
https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Canyonero
Migraine warning for animated text.
Actual results:
Tried to inspect and block the animated text.
The site treats right-click there as a center click, blocking both the inspector and safety tools such as uBlock origin.
Expected results:
Why should sites be allowed to block safety tools?

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'DevTools::Inspector' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
Also affects Discord, which makes it impossible to block animated images.

Press <Shift> while right-clicking to bypass the site's hijacking of the contextual menu.

Moving back to Firefox Untriaged.
As mentioned by rhill@raymondhill.net, you can use shift + right click, although I can't find any mention in the current html specification for this. According to old bugs (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692139) it used to be part of the spec, but it might be outdated now.

Managed to reproduce this on Windows 10 x64, macOS 11.4 and on Ubuntu 20.04. The issue is also reproducible on Chrome.
