but then what's the different between 'mousedown' and 'click' event? is that a JavaScript problem or JQuery?
Specially, using window.open() inside the 'click' binding will make Firefox popup blocker stop the event

this must be bug, because if I use "bind('click', ...)" it work only with left click and not with other mouse clicks like right or middle click.

It seems like Firefox does not fire a click event for the element on a right-click, although it fires a mousedown and mouseup. However, it *does* fire a click event on document! Since
.livecatches events at the document level, it sees the click event for the element even though the element itself does not. If you use an event like mouseup, both the p element and the document will see the event.
I agree this seems like a bug, but if so it's a browser bug. Here's a recent article describing the situation.

Still happening on 1.4.
Also, I think worth to note that jQuery is supposed to circumvents cross browser issues. This in most cases means workaround IE problems. This time our beloved Firefox is at stake but, IMHO jQuery sould fix it anyway.
I've debugged, made a patch and test cases.
Submited to my fork on github:
http://github.com/irae/jquery/commit/e94b1e7c320b78580a3fac1afc2b6a3bee4dc140
Tested on Firefox 3.5.7, IE6 and Chrome (win XP).
With github, is it necessary to submit the patch here on the bugtracker?

I agree with iraebrasil. Might be Firefox's fault, and Firefox might fix it in a later version, but we can't count on all of our site visitors staying up-to-date with the latest browser. *cough* IE6, for example *cough* If it's adressed in a jQuery patch, that puts a solution in the hands of the developers, and we're good with that stuff.

#5885 is a duplicate of this ticket.
Yep - that's to be expected. Any binding of a click handler will capture all clicks (not just left clicks).
