In firefox you can Shift+Right-Click to show the default context menu.
So you are given multiple options:
1. Disallow websites to change and hide the contextmenu at all
2. Show the default context menu with a Shift+Right-Click

So I don't see what is the problem? other UA's must face this in a way they
choose and any complaints about this is to them.

 I don't see this in firefox, I tried the nodefault="true" as in the w3 bug
tracker but that doesn't do anything. Are you sure that it was really added
and if so why isn't it in this example:
