Countless sites restrict opening a context menu on their web site and disable
items such as right click.  Preferences | Advanced | Scripts & Plugins has many
other features which can be blocked such as allowing them to perform window
actions.  Why not also allow a user to override the site owner from distroying
their browsing experience by disabling the features they are most comofrtable with?



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to any site which disables right click context menus and try it.
Actual Results:  
Nothing, or occasionally a message.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should allow this to be overridden, completely ignoring a right click

<-- possibly related to this bug, which suggest allowing a middle click to
override any onclick javascript.
