How to set right mouse click in linux for context menu to work?

There is a manjaro distribution, i3 is installed on it.
The context menu is called when the right mouse button is pressed (not clicked), is it possible to somehow reconfigure this behavior so that the menu call event is processed after a click, that is, when the button is released.
This is how it is done on windows.
The problem is that if you make a click in some programs, for example, firefox can work out the first menu item.
This behavior is purely systemic and does not depend on mice or the touchpad.

You need to edit the i3 config file. It usually lies here:
~/.config/i3/config
Or here:
~/.i3/config
Official doc with examples about mouse bindings (I think you can just delete them or rearrange them to another keyboard shortcut):
https://i3wm. org/docs/userguide.html#mousebindings
And restart i3. By default Win + Shift + R. Well, or relogin
