When the right mouse button is clicked, the contextmenu auxclick event will be triggered.

But the trigger sequence is inconsistent in chrome and Firefox:

// macOS Firefox: auxclick , contextmenu Chrome: contextmenu, auxclick

Chrome on Windows fires auxclick before contextmenu as Firefox does. Perhaps a platform dependent bug from Chrome?

On Linux, both Firefox and Chrome fire contextmenu -> auxclick.

On Windows and macOS, a native event notifies applications of context menu open. It seems that GTK on Linux does not have it.

And whether context menu should be opened at mousedown or mouseup depends on the platform manner. So, it might be difficult to consider the order. https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/31ddf859c57e812878a5f817e4097efb06de4d97/modules/libpref/init/StaticPrefList.yaml#9965-9971
