Context-menu doesn't work with trackpads (again)

Firefox 2.0.x requires a 2-button mouse to get to the context menu. Using Command-click or holding the trackpad button down no longer works.

I recall this was a problem with 1.0 and was fixed in 1.5. Now the problem is back with 2.0.

Context-menu access is a pretty essential feature, even for laptop users. But Mozilla's Mac developers do not appear to be engaged or vigilant enough to fix major UI gaffes like this.

I've never had this problem, so it's not universal. I'm running on an 867Mhz G4 laptop.
