[Bug 2023448] [NEW] Accessibility option for press and hold left click to simulate right click triggers left click and right click

[Anadon]

Public bug reported:

When trying to simulate a right click via the mouse accessibility
settings to have a left press and hold register as a right click, what
happens is that the instant it takes effect and there is a right click,
there is also a left click.  An example of this issue arises when you
want to open a link in a new tab in firefox.  You left click and hold,
there's a flash of the right click menu, and then it follows the link in
the current tab regardless.
