        case 1:
            // By way of example, I've added Ctrl+Click Modifiers.
            if (e.ctrlKey) {
                // Ctrl+LeftClick behaviour.
            } else {
                // Standard LeftClick behaviour.
            }
            break;

        // Middle click.
        case 2:
            // Interrupts "Firefox Open New Tab" behaviour.
            break;

        // Default behaviour for right click.
        case 3:
            return;
    }

    // Pass control back to default handler.
    return true;
});
