One-button access to Firefox's contextual menu

I just noticed this behaviour in Firefox. If you hold down the mouse button, after about two seconds the contextual menu will pop-up. This seems to only work in Firefox. This is a real boon for laptop users who use the built-in trackpad. Now if only the rest of OS X could adopt this behaviour, Apple's one-button mouse philosophy would work great.

[robg adds: I've gotten so used to control-clicking for the contextual menu that it's almost second nature ... but it's nice to know there's a no-keys alternative.]
