Hi, Brian. Edge was updated, but even Microsoft admits that the newest update to Microsoft was not released to address the context menu activation issue.

Subject: Chromium Fix for JAWS Problem Has Been Issued

And Chrome and Brave have definitely already integrated it yesterday, and I believe Edge has, too, as it's updating on my machine as I type.  One way to force updates on any Chromium-based browser is to look at Help, About {Insert browser name here}.  The About dialog always checks to see if any updates exist, and will download them for immediate application if they do.

For those who want the details, see:  https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/106.0.5249.91..106.0.5249.103?pretty=fuller&n=1000 

The key tidbit:

AT actions API: Always expose default action at index 0.

Nodes are expected to know if they have a default action assigned, and

return that knowledge via HasDefaultActionVerb(). We found some cases

that, nonetheless, report false incorrectly on Windows platforms.

This causes serious regressions with JAWS, so we introduce a workaround

to expose the default action unconditionally.

(cherry picked from commit c287736e2fce23aef17a48bb2fd0bb1c240da75c)
