User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When you use the key on the keyboard that makes the right click menu come up in 
order to open a link, if the link is near the bottom of the screen then the 
closer you get to the bottom the farther offscreen the menu moves.
Eventually you can't see it.  There is no check for position to ensure that if 
the link's bottom is below the bottom of the screen that the menu will be 
formed higher up, it just keeps making the menu lower and lower (about 50px 
below the link, or maybe 100-150).
The menu is definitely brought up by code in firefox, not by windows, and 
positioned by the code with probably something similar to [this.menuposition.y 
= this.link.y + 100]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tab to a link low on the page, with Firefox running full screen or near it
2. Press the key on the keyboard which emulates a right click on the mouse (not 
available on all keyboards)
3. If link is near enough to bottom of screen, menu should be completely or 
partially off the desktop
