I agree OW is a great Browser and I look forward to Version 6. I own multiple licenses, some dating back several years. No browser however is perfect. I love OW's tabs, workspaces, site prefs. I love Firefox's Add-ons. I love Flock's web integration [Facebook, Flickr, You Tube, Gmail, etc] I love Stainless's speed [which is great even though it's only a technology preview]. I love iCab's Filters and extras {have you tried their record session feature?]. BTW if you want Services in Firefox, try Camino. 
I'm sure there are several people on here that would agree with me, I've never had as many issues issues on any other browser as I had with MS Internet Explorer. 

Would the last person mind sharing an example of Firefox's lack of Contextual menu support? YMMV but I've never had a problem with contextual menus [finding them or using them on G4/G5/intel].

In the future, could the person having problems atleast mention what OS [ 10.3, 10.4, 10.5] and what platform [PPC vs intel] ?
