I can confirm that the repro steps posted by gw0 work for me here on
8.10 / i386 with Firefox 3.0.7.

In case it's not obvious, a scenario where this would happen in reality
is when you right click and then discard the menu by left-clicking
outside of it.  The next time you right-click on something, it will
trigger the repro steps if the new thing you clicked on is within the
area where the "ghost" menu was.  This would frequently happen when you
attempt to right click on a link in order to open it in a new tab, but
miss it at first, and try again.  Especially on cluttered pages with
small fonts, this could happen easily, as well as if your motoric skills
with the mouse are not stellar (which is likely to be the case
especially for new users, who ought to be specially shielded from
erratic and confusing behavior).
