you know how in firefox you can just hold down the mouse button to access the context menu? is there a mod/hack/add-on/whatever that can do the same thing in the os. I just think this would be very handy.

You probably know this one already, but Control click works as the right click for the OS. Or you could buy the Mighty Mouse and program it...

Yes, there is 'One Finger Snap' that lets you do it so, just hold down the mouse button to access the context menu.

But browsers could have this behaviour implemented by defaut, at least as option, I think only iCab does it since its very first versions.

Actually, click-hold for contextual menus in browsers is a convention that's been around in Mac browsers since the very beginning, e.g. with Netscape 2.0 (and maybe earlier). It's in IE, Netscape, Mozilla (including Firefox), iCab, and probably others. In fact, Opera, Safari and Camino (the browsers that did not exist for Classic Mac OS) are the only Mac browsers to not do it. Basically, click-hold is a workaround for Macs having single buttons, started back when Macs did not have OS-level support for right-click. Since OS X has native right-click support, the browsers developed for it do not do click-hold.

Three steps to get what you want:
1. Get a mouse that has three buttons or more (I recommend Logitech - they're the best)
2. Plug it in.
3. There is no step three.
