There are some web sites that use a Javascript to prevent one from right clicking on images to save them; disabling Javascript is a workaround for that. I wouldn't be surprised if that is in common use.

But you don't need to disable JS altogether to prevent that, only disable replacing context menus. Unfortunately for that argument, updating to FF23 removes all of the 'advanced' JS options, not just the checkbox to disable it altogether.

Certain shopping sites disable right-click to prevent you from comparing prices.
Certain lyrics sites disable right-click to prevent "theft".
Certain sites disable right-click for aesthetics or to prevent me from seeing the page source.
This news just makes me glad I'm on chrome.
And the most important point here: This feature really is broken as of today. Nobody can persuade me that they use it on their main browsers. I don't believe them.
