Not opening on mouse-down is inconsistent with many other Mozilla and non- Mozilla menus and similar GUI elements: - Mozilla menu-bar menus - Mozilla pull-down boxes (e.g., the location box) - MS Windows context and menu-bar menus - Netscape 4.x on Windows and X11 (I think; I can't confirm that right now) Also note that requiring a mouse-up event makes using menus slows and less efficient for users. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Point to something that has a context menu, for example non-active part of a web page. 2. Press and hold the right mouse button 3. Release the right mouse button Actual Results: Context menu appeared after releasing button. Expected Results: Displayed context menu on button-down event.

Verified dupe. Note that saying that "MS Windows context... menus" open on mouse-down is incorrect.
