Background
On the Macintosh, many users do not use a two-button mouse. In the mid-’90s, Netscape started using the convention of “click-and-hold” to provide access to the context menu. Later, Apple standardized Control-Click as the way to access context menus. For backwards compatibility, Mozilla still supports “click-and-hold.” This preference determines whether or not the context menu will be shown when clicking and holding down the primary mouse button on a Macintosh.

True
