This isn't really a bug per se as I don't know whether Mozilla UI intends to
support this 'feature' or not and I don't have access to other platform builds
right now.

It is a bug, since the standard behavior on Mac OS involves a change in the 

cursor. This bug is not relevant to platforms where the context menu is opened by 

right clicking and Ctrl is used as a shortcut modifier. In fact, it would be a 

bug if holding down Ctrl would change the cursor on those platforms.

This is a context menu or xul keybinding issue.  Trying saari, will let him 
reassign as necessary

Good catch. Yeah, we probably need a platform specific binding to change the 
cursor. Don, should you guys get this?

No. :-)  Seriously, I don't quite understand what needs to be done here.  
(Explain it to the stupid pointy head, please.)

Basically you need a platform specific keybinding that is bound to the control
key. That binding gets the current position of the mouse and figures out if
there is a context menu that could be brought up there. That is the part I'm not
sure how to do. But I can learn.
