I have some kind of problem with twitter-bootstrap and firefox.
I have a button and a dropdown menu with an input text. If I right click on the input ( for right-click + Paste for example), firefox closes the dropdown. And that quite boring.
Is there any solution for prevent that behaviour ?
Thanks !
As an immediate stop-gap workaround you can use something along the following lines to prevent the click event from propagating when the click event is a right-click
JS
$(document).on('click', function(e) {
e.button === 2 && e.stopImmediatePropagation()
})
This would need to be placed between jQuery loading and Bootstrap loading.

However, this is a rather blunt approach and you'd probably be better off doing something more subtle if possible.
Update
One way to circumvent this issue in a more targeted manner is to disable the original event listener and replace it with one that checks for right-clicks first.
JS
// obtain a reference to the original handler
var _clearMenus = $._data(document, "events").click.filter(function (el) {
return el.namespace === 'data-api.dropdown' && el.selector === undefined
})[0].handler;
// disable the old listener
$(document)
.off('click.data-api.dropdown', _clearMenus)
.on('click.data-api.dropdown', function (e) {
// call the handler only when not right-click
e.button === 2 || _clearMenus()
})
Unlike the previous example, this code would need to run after Bootstrap has loaded.

For Bootstrap 3 you have to update the namespace to bs.data-api.dropdown
.
JS
// obtain a reference to the original handler
var _clearMenus = $._data(document, "events").click.filter(function (el) {
return el.namespace === 'bs.data-api.dropdown' && el.selector === undefined
})[0].handler;
// disable the old listener
$(document)
.off('click.data-api.dropdown', _clearMenus)
.on('click.data-api.dropdown', function (e) {
// call the handler only when not right-click
e.button === 2 || _clearMenus()
})
