Right-Click Context Menu Not Overridden by Site

On Wunderlist (https://www.wunderlist.com/) and Todoist (https://www.todoist.com/), if I right-click, what SHOULD happen is that the site overrides my system's (browser's?) right-click menu and shows a site-specific one instead, with options particular to that site. What happens instead is that both the site-specific and system (browser?) context menu show up. This was the case even in Safe Mode.

You can set dom.event.contextmenu.enabled to true on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Great! It works now! Thanks so much!

Still, for some reason, Wunderlist doesn't want to let the context menu stay open. Everytime I right-click, it appears and then immediately disappears. Very rarely will it ever stay open like it's supposed to.

Does this seem like a Firefox or Wunderlist issue to you? :/
