So I see an alert, and then I see the context menu.  Are you seeing something different?

Comment 4

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

yep, just the alert, the contextmenu won't show

Comment 5

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

I see the same thing, using current trunk and 1.8 branch on windows.
1) set dom.event.contextmenu.enabled to false. 2) right click on the testcase
Result: alert, then no context menu.

this regressed before FF1.5 was released (just checked with an old 1.5 build/profile)

Comment 7

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Did this regress with bug 167145?

Comment 8

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Note that on Linux this worksforme, even if I change the testcase to cancel mousedown too.

No, I just tried with Mozilla1.6, it doesn't even work with that build.

This does not seem to be a regression as it still occurs in Phoenix 0.1:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020923 Phoenix/0.1

The following javascript code will prevent the context menu from appearing when the "options->content->javascript->advanced->Disable or replace context menus" is unselected (using FF3.6.8):

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
function click(e)
   {
   var msg = "No right click is allowed";
   if (document.all)
      {
      if (event.button == 2)
         {
         alert(msg);
         return false;
         }
      }
   if (document.layers)
      {
      if (e.which == 3)
         {
         alert(msg);
         return false;
         }
      }
   }
if (document.layers)
   {
   document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
   }
document.onmousedown=click;
//-->
</script>

Expected behavior when "options->content->javascript->advanced->Disable or replace context menus" is unselected is to show the context menu in all cases.  Javascript should not be able to prevent the context menu from showing up when the user has requested it.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, 4 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
