It does?  It doesn't over here, and I wouldn't expect it to.

And the reason I wouldn't expect it to is that 
nsGenericElement::CheckHandleEventForLinksPrecondition bails out if the 
event is not trusted (which this one is not).

In general, if you want to simulate user interaction you will need to do 
so in privileged code; normal web JS is not allowed to simulate various 
user events, for security reasons.
