You all are welcome to keep using it locally. We will not add it to Gentoo until such time that it has been accepted upstream.

This is now available in Firefox-58. Users can activate the feature in about:config by changing preference 'ui.context_menus.after_mouseup' from FALSE to TRUE. I think this bug can be closed as fixed upstream?
