when using javascript to force users to "right-click and save" a link.  normally
when a user left clicks that link, a javascript alert pops up telling the user
to right click.  but with the latest phoenix 0.5 no matter which button you use,
the alert pops up.

this prevents users from downloading files from certain sites.

seems to work fine on mozilla 1.2.1 still. and ie.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open www.sadja.com/rightclick_test.html 
2. right click on the link.  
3. see the pop up



Expected Results:  
the normal cascading menu should have popped up. querying for save link as.. etc.
