Please reopen if you can reproduce this with a current nightly build using a
clean profile.

Installed latestd nightly with a clean profile, the senario is still reproduced
if I right-click any hyperlink in any of the news in the main section.

not sure where the opening in new tab thing comes from, but I can see this. 
However, based on http://code.fastclick.net/is.js its intended behaviour since
its using a document.onclick event handler with a whole bunch of script to
redirect links.  Maybe they should be filtering for event.button?  In any case,
we're handling this mangling as its written, so this is a Tech Evang bug.  You
might want to email the webmaster and point to this bug.

No more JS on that site that I can see, and context menus work normally in both Camino trunk and Firefox 2, so FIXED.
