I’ve been working on a small context menu library in Javascript. Basically it lets you register a listener on a DOM element along with a flag specifying which types of clicks should render the context menu. Also, let’s save the discussion of whether creating your own custom right-click menu is a good idea or not for another time.

The menu worked fine in Chrome and Safari, but when I tried it out in Firefox there was an issue. When right-clicking, the menu would appear but when the mouse button was released, the menu disappeared again.

I think Google Chrome is a great browser and I use it on a regular basis. At the moment, I think their built-in developer tools are superior to those in Mozilla Firefox and the process sandboxing works better. That said, Firefox has the killer Awesomebar which kicks Google’s Omnibar out of the water and the ecosystem of extensions is a strong card for Mozilla. In my opinion these two browsers, which are the common choices for people especially in tech, are head-to-head when it comes to features.

I guess most of you might have seen the mockups for the UI redesign planned for Firefox (Mac, Windows and Linux). It’s about time something was done about it, not because it’s currently ugly per se, just not as good-looking as the opposition. I though I’d give you a break-down of some other changes we can look forward to in the next milestone for the best browser in the world (now pay up Mozilla!).
