It's not just "certain flash". Any plugin that has focus makes it impossible to activate tab context menu. For example, follow the link (http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=IVxsB5oNiTw) and click "Play" button. After that there is no way to open tab context menu because Flash is stealing focus.

I believe it's somehow related to the bug 78414. Pretty annoying too.
I can reproduce on Windows, not Mac, so I'm going to assume that this is a windows-only issue for now. This is probably *not* related to bug 78414, at least not directly, because keyboard focus shouldn't affect right-click behavior.

Worth investigating at some point, but not a blocker.
