Victor, please fill in exact steps to reproduce the problem.  Also describe
in detail what you mean by "do not work".  Does the problem occur on all
pages or just some?  Please test Firefox 7 or newer.  Thanks.

Fwiw, I'm using the context menu on this bug page for example, and it works
normally even if the menu item I click happens to have a <button> or <select>
behind it on the page.  (Fx7 and Nightly 20111008 on Linux64)

On this bug page clicking both "Save Changes" button and "Status:" select with right mouse button produces no result, while it should open the context menu.

Firefox 7.0.1 Linux x86.
Now I understand the problem, thanks.

Fwiw, Opera and Chrome focus the button/select and then open a context menu (on Linux).
