[solved] Issue with Firefox's right click menu

Hello all,

    I have been experiencing issues with the right-click menu on Firefox. When I right-click in Firefox the menu quickly shuts.  If I hold down the right click the menu stays open until I take my finger off the button. I have tried different mice and different browsers, including Waterfox, and this only occurs in Firefox. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I suspect it might be a GTK3 issue? Any thoughts?

Firefox 57.0
GTK 3.22.26-1

Thanks.

Firefox 57.0-2 here.  Same version of gtk3.  Works fine, but I use a touch pad with an emulated right click using either double touch to emulate the right click, or single clicking in the lower left hand corner of the pad.

Re: [solved] Issue with Firefox's right click menu

57.0-2: works fine for me with emulated secondary click on touchpad (two finger tap); secondary trackpoint button (right button); and secondary mouse button (left button).

However, I have gtk3 3.22.26+47+g3a1a7135a2-3. Is your system outdated? Did you do a partial update?

Are you using bspwm? Does it behave like this?

You sir are a saint!

That was my exact issue with a solution.

Adding the following to my userChrome.css worked

#contentAreaContextMenu {
    margin-left: 4px;
}
