I have noticed that when I right click in firefox, trying to open a link in a new window, frequently it does not keep the menu up long enough for me to choose the menu item...
it instead just selects a menu item (randomly?)

It sometimes chooses the bookmark link which is annoying when I have to close the window and try again.
or sometimes "send link" (which is really annoying as it launches evolution)
or occasionally copy link (very bad - overwrites what I have in the clipboard)
or even switch page direction or block images which require me to undo the action

Is there some way to make sure the menu stays up long enough for me to choose the option?

looks like this is perhaps a firefox issue:

has nobody else seen this?

I've seen that behavior here recently. It seems to have started after one of the recent updates.
