I like not having my UI messed with, and so do many other users.

Anyways, there's a pref for this: dom.event.contextmenu.enabled I believe.

But screwing with a user's browser UI functionality is just plain wrong. How
would you feel if flushing your toilet turned the shower on? Pretty pissed off
I'd imagine, and that's what happens with many of us who expect to see a context
menu,  but don't unless we change some prefs.
