This is confirmed as a change for me since 0.9.3, where my sidebars work fine.
Since installing 0.10 my sidebars, such as:

http://devedge.netscape.com//toolbox/sidebars/2002/css21qr/en-US/prop-visual.html

-- when i click "open link in a new tab" i get a javascript error echoed to the
JavaScript console:

Error: gContextMenu has no properties

and the link fails to open -- in 0.9.3 they worked fine and they continue to
work fine in 0.9.3 (just verified) and now they're broken with the error (same
profile).
