Breaks Google Maps

Not allowing scripts to replace the right click context menu breaks google maps. Google maps provides its own context menu with options such as "directions to here" if the normal context menu is not disabled, google's context menu will be hidden.

It's the user's choice, but there are costs in disabling elements of javascript.

There are no costs. What you said about Google Maps is not true. The context menu you describe is not the browsers context menu. If you actually tested what the author describes, you will find that the Google Maps menu still shows up fine.

Nice one

only people who are content and image thieves have a problem with the right click being disabled.

Silly opinion. For example

Silly opinion. For example opening links to new tabs in right click disabling pages becomes hard as one can't simply right click on the link and choose 'open in new tab'.

BRILLIANT !! Thank You!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share this Firefox Tip

I agree with the previous commenter, silly yes, ridiculous, fallacious.

Like the previous commenter, I habitually use the "open in new tab/window" feature. I find the ability to open in new tab/window Invaluable in keeping track of what I'm viewing.

The idea that an strange webpage can disable software running on an individuals computer under the thin argument of "copyright" or "censorship" is offensive to any reasonable human being.

I applaud Firefox for the inclusion of an interface which allows more freedom of choice

Just one more reason Firefox is superior to "IE"

under "IE" you have to
SHIFT left then right click = blocked link in new window
CTRL left then right click = blocked link in new Tab
