Browsers exposed the contextmenu event because web sites can use that to benefit the user by offering options relevant to the functionality of the web site (e.g. Google Docs offer a large number of word processing options). If you find an evil site misusing the event you can disable it in Firefox, but then you also lose the benefit on well behaved sites. -Dan Veditz
