Save dialog box!!! I have a view document option and a download

TS3048 my magic mouse does not want to right click anymore?

My magic mouse does not seem to right click anymore, any suggestions? For example, I used to right click on my icon of my memory card from the camera that I have inserted into the side of the IMac and I could choose "eject" now it doesn't want to right click and open up those options. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey.
This seems to be a common issue.
I've seen mixed posts on the net about the ES8000 working with the Apple Keyboard but from what I've seen the Apple mouse tends to fail the sync constantly.
Sad, I just bought a mouse to improve navigasting on the ES8000 and dissapointed that it doesn't sync. Maybe an issue with drivers on the TV.
Which Dell mouse (model number) works for you?

When I click on a .pdf link, I want to download it and display it in Foxit. How can I do that?

I used to be able to click on a .pdf link and the .pdf file would open in Foxit Reader and be saved to my download folder.
Now, I think since refreshing Firefox, clicking a .pdf link opens the .pdf in the Firefox browser.
How can I get .pdf links to open the .pdf in Foxit Reader, and not open in the Firefox browser??

Hello ririri, you have to set it correct in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/applications-panel-set-how-firefox-handles-files application panel]. See how to do that easily in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file#w_changing-download-actions Changing download actions] article.
thank you

Where is open links in new tab option as I dont want to right click?

I am using kubuntu 12.04 Fire fox 20. I want to open links in a new tab without right clicking I used to be able to this why can't I now?

Ctrl + Click

I can right click to select "check spelling" in e-mails, but how do I change a setting for this to occur automatically? I often don't remember to right click!

I use the Firefox browser.

Are you using a Firefox 17 ESR version?
You can check the update channel in: Help > About
Please update to the current Firefox release.
*Help > About Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Updating+Firefox
The Firefox 17 version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.
*It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.
Note that websites can disable the spelling check via a spellcheck="false" attribute. 
In current releases this will remove Check Spelling in the right-click context menu, but in your old version this will uncheck the box in the right-click context menu.
You can right-click in the text editor area and use "Inspect Element" to see if this text area has a spellcheck="false" attribute. 
Removing this spellcheck="false" attribute by selecting it via a double-click and using the Delete or Backspace key should make the Check Spelling item in the right-click context menu reappear.

Stop Right Clicks from automatically Opening link in new tab?

So Normally I would right click a link, scroll down to "Open link in new tab" or "Open link in new Window" ect ect. But now, before I can choose which option I want (tab or window) it automatically opens the link up in a new tab. it does it for every single link... Even if I just want to copy a link (left click and highlight) it will automatically open the link up anyway.. How do I stop it from doing that?!?! It is extremely frustrating.. I don't want everything I right click to be opened in a new tab
Thank you ever so much for any help!

Tried in Safe mode already and the problem still occurs.. I recently re installed windows on my laptop, and the only ad ons I have is flash block, ad block and adobe flash player. I tried with all disabled, as well as disabling all the extensions.. still same issue..
I'm sorry this might have been important issue but I am using a USB mouse. the touchpad/clicker on my laptop works normally.. I can right click with the touch pad and it gives me options instead of automatically opening it.. could it be an issue withe the USB mouse? Ive never had issuse with it before I re-installed windows. the usb ports are kept clean and the mouse has fresh batteries..

Whenever I right-click to open a link in a new tab, it opens it in a new window instead. How do I fix this?

The other night, I opened up a new window to do some school work, then accidentally saved that page instead of my usual page when I closed out, causing me to lose all my tabs. Since this happened, all the links I open in Firefox open in a new window, even though my settings are set that it should open in new tabs, and even when I right-click and hit "Open in a New Tab." Links from places besides Firefox (like MSN and such) still open in new tabs. What can I do to fix this?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

I changed my email for my Apple ID, and my iCloud won't let me change it, it only lets me delete my account. But I don't want everything on my phone that is linked to it to be deleted too. How do I change the email in the iCloud settings

I changed my email for my Apple ID, but on my iCloud it's still registered under my old email, but I can't change it. The only option it has for me to do is to delete that account from my phone but I don't want to lose anything I have on my phone that is linked to my iCloud account

If you go to your iTunes account on the computer, where you changed your email account info, you find a link to other changes for your account info. You may have done all that already, if so next you have to change the info on the device.
To change the device info:
Step 1. Connect to iTunes on the computer and on the "Info" page, check the sync info box. You should notice a change in your email info on the screen . Sync device to the computer.
Step 2. note at the bottom of this "Info" screen a note that says to change you iPad info: Go to Settings on the iPad, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Change your email account information here.

When I right click on a web image to save, the Save Image popup box has nothing listed in the "Save as type" box at the bottom just below "File Name"

When I attempt to save an image from a web site page, I right click and then the Save Image popup appears. At the bottom of the popup, the "File name" box will contain the appropriate file name of the image. However, in the "Save as Type" box, there is nothing listed and I can't enter a file extension, such as JPEG. What then is saved is just a thumbnail image

You can use this extension to modify the menu.
*Menu Editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
You can also achieve this with code in the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

After I right click on a video link (and left click on "download by flashget"), it doesn't download. Why?

but if i do the same with IE, I can still download...why?

I found this solution on another newsgroup, so I thought that I'd share it here.
Thanks to all who tried to help.
"I was also experiencing these annoying sync-problems. The cause for
this lies in nvcpl.dll - a nvidia dll, which scans for connected TVs.
The first time the dll is loaded, is at windows-bootup
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows->CurrentVersion->Run).
This causes the first flicker and unfortunately the auto-startup-entry
can't be deleted.
The flicker when right-clicking on video-files is caused by a shell-
extension, which the nvidia-driver installs for all types of video-
files. This shell-extension calls nvcpl.dll everytime you right click a
video file to scan for connected TVs. If a TV is present, the shell
extension shows up in the context-menu as "Play on My TV". I never
tested this, but I suppose when you click it, the video is directly
shown on your connected TV.
This could have been implemented a lot better, this f...ing sync-flicker
is driving you crazy when browsing a video archive.
After scanning the registry, I found the key responsible for the shell
extension. Just search for "PlayOnMyTV" in the registry and you will
find some entries under "shellex" (shell extension). These entries
contain an identifier, {FFB699E0-306A-11d3-8BD1-00104B6F7516} in my
case, I'm not sure if this identifier is static or created dynamically,
so in your registry, it might be another number. Now copy the identifier
and search for it in the registry; delete every occurence when it's
connected to video-file formats (.avi, .mpg, .mpeg and so on) and
afterwards the "PlayOnMyTV"-shellextensions."

Tabs don't close when I click more then 10 links

After updating to Firefox 11 a strange problem occurs when I click more then 10 links and try to close them: the links don't close and I have to close the window. This never happend before. I do some paid to click programs and have to click many links, so this is not very nice... Does anyone recognise this and is there already a fix for it?
Thanks!
Anja

When right clicking to send a link , the` send link` option does not appear as n option on the menu list.

the ``send link`` option just disappeared..It happened immediately after an automatic update to firefox when my computer has to be restarted about a month ago.
sometimes a ``copy link location`` will be on the list...and that will allow me to send on a link..but normally now it rarely appears and send link has disappeared entirely from the right clicked menu box.

hello bblauman, mozilla does clean up the interface of the browser from time to time - a user study has shown that this context menu entry is only used by a small fraction of the users. however, in case you miss this functionality you could use an addon to recover it: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/send-link-in-context-menu/
