528103 - Javascript option 'Allow scripts to disable context menu' does not work

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[skmail]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 FoxOnFlames

Unchecking the option 'Allow scripts to disable the context menu' often has no effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to demonstration page http://netticat.ath.cx/Misc/NoContextDemoForMozilla.htm
2. Try to right click the URL or the image
3. No context will be shown
Actual Results:  
Missing context on right click

Expected Results:  
A context popup

I can provide a lot of more methods that prevent the context menu to show.
This should not happen while the advanced javascript option is deactivated.

I marked this major because it is one of the prominent options that are available and this is abused by more and more websites, greatly impairing user experience (many users want to save images!)
