Using any capable mouse to simultaneously middle- and right-click will bring up
the image context menu. Firefox thinks the autoscroller PNG is a page element.
The functionality *does* work -- you can save, view, or set the PNG as your
wallpaper (which I think looks rather "artistc" when Windows stretches it).
Also provided is an option to block images from "global," though it does not
seem to do anything noticeable.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simultaneously middle- and right-click.
2. Observe the resultant context menu.
3.
Actual Results:
The autoscroller appears, as does a context menu based on the autoscoller PNG.
Expected Results:
I'm not sure. Either show the autoscroller, show the context menu for the page,
show both the autoscroller and the page context menu, or cancel the event
altogether. I recommend option 3.

IMO the page context menu should be displayed only. The autoscroll image doesn't
belongs to the page. Instead it's just an overlay.

More precise steps to reproduce:
1. Right button down
2. Middle button down
3. Right button up
4. Middle button up
Steps 3 and 4 can be interchanged and you'll still see the bug.
This bug probably doesn't affect Linux, where context menus appear onmousedown
instead of onmouseup. (IMO, context menus should appear onmousedown that on
Windows too, but that's bug 89308.)
Summary: Incorrect context menu on middle+right click → middle+right click shows image context menu (for autoscroll image)

we really need to get the autoscroll image out of the page DOM...

This affects Linux as well:
1. Click and release the middle button. The autoscroll marker appears. Don't
move the pointer outside the autoscroll image.
2. Then click and release the right button. The context menu for the autoscroll
image appears.
Hey, "Block Images from global" doesn't work :)

Further if a user manages to do "right mouse down, middle mouse down, right
mouse up, move mouse down and to the left a bit, left mouse down then up", the
browser will load the appropriate autoscroll image (e.g.
chrome://global/content/bindings/autoscroll_v.png) into the current tab, as the
user will have clicked "View Image". This is of course incredibly confusing, and
although it can be remedied by clicking the back button, it would be best if
this didn't happen.
Incidentally it's a lot easier than it seems :) All the user has to do is fiddle
with their mouse by pressing all the buttons at the same time and be a little
bit unlucky about the order in which he does things.
