Just to elaborate a bit, we have no plans to support click-and-hold  
for contextual menus in the future either. They were deliberately  
removed from Firefox in 2.0 because they are non-standard in OS X,  
and in fact violate the OS guidelines about how clicks should be  
interpreted (the Dock behavior not withstanding). There are a couple  
of standard ways of accessing context menus in OS X, so we don't want  
to break expected behavior to add another one.
