FF18.0 Mac OS. right click (control click) on left half of an additional display brings the menu up in small font on the laptop

Upgraded to FF18.0 from the prior version (Mac OS 10.8.2) and it works great on my MacBook Pro Retina display. However, if either a 27" Thunderbolt Display or 27" LED Cinema Display is also plugged in and the browser is on the separate display there is a problem:
Right or control clicking the browser window anywhere on the left half of the separate display brings the pop up menu on the laptop in very small font (presumably at the higher resolution of the separate monitor). The problem also occurs with links on web pages that have preview pop ups when you hold the cursor over the link.
These were not issues in the FF17.x version I was previously using.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Right click with mouse in Word 2013 does not give the list with translate and synonyms etc

since i upgraded to windows 8.1 right click on words in word 2013 does not open the regular list where you can tap on synonyms and translate.
it does work if i touch the screen.
i moved to mouse mode but it does not help
can anyone help...
i am starting to hate windows 8.1 and word 2013 because of this feature not working

Hi
I have tested in my computer and it worked well.
Normally when we type a wrong spelling, right clicking the word does not give a list with translate and synonyms.
Check to make sure your spelling is right.
if the issue persists, Start Word in safe mode to check the issue:Hold "Ctrl" key and click into the program.
It is also recommended that you do a repair for your Office suites in
Control panel>Program and features>Office>Change>Repair

HT2513 How do you change the name of a reminder in the reminder list. I right click and then choose "get information" I can change the colour of the reminder but when I type in the name that I want and then press enter the name stays as "untitled".

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz

Quit farting around with the camera tracker. You're not nearly ready to handle it. Go here:
Getting started with After Effects (CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6, & CC)

Screen shifts to the left and left half of my screen appears on the right.

So there were some issues with my Harddrive, after having it replaced at the genius bar I chose to reinstall everything rather then just restoring from my Time machine.
After reinstalling Mountain Lion my screen occasionally shifts to the left and the left half of my screen appears on the right.
It seem completely random and occurs randomly. I haven't been able to tie it to any specific program.
After a couple of days of this happening once or twice a day I called apple and they suggested I do a fresh reinstall and don't move any of my data over and see if the error re-occurs. It didn't (tried it for 1-2 days..) but it might well be lucky/random that it didn't happen.
In any case.. since I couldn't deal for another day without my stuff I restored from Time Machine and the error did happen again.
So... it's something on my mac. I've done all updates... obviously
I have no idea what to do.. Everytime it happens, my mac just freezes and I can't do anything but for shutdown by pressing the shutdown menu.
How can I debug this? Anyone ever heard of this before?
Here are some screenshots: let me know if you need anything else.

HT1338 why does my mac keep right clicking when i am not trying to right click?

New mac is only 2 months old.
I will be happily typing along and click on something and then it keeps popping up with drop downs as if i right clicked!
I must be doing something wrong?

Check System Preferences Mouse pane (or Trackpad pane). For the Mouse pane, make sure the Primary mouse button is set for the one on the left.
The Control key toggles the "right-click" with the primary button, when the Control key is pressed down while clicking the primary mouse button (or on a Magic Trackpad). So make sure you are not pressing the Control key inadvertently.
Also, if you are using a Magic Trackpad (separate or on a MacBook), the botton portion (along the edge closest to you) is sensitive to clicking on the right side versus left side. The rest of the trackpad is not. So, if you are clicking near that edge closest to you, a click on the right side will be a right-click. It is designed this way, because some people use their thumb along that edge to click (not their "pointing" finger); on old-school trackpads, physical buttons were located there. So, you can still point with the index finger and click with the thumb on the right or left "button." You should be able to adjust this behavior in System Preferences Trackpad pane.

Question mark on some of my folders in LR3 on a Mac. Right click does not result in anything... no drop down menu to fix the problem

I am trying to learn Lightroom 3 on my Mac. I mistakenly renamed some folders (not while in Lightroom) by adding a subject to the date. Lightroom could not find the photos in the folder and gave me an error message that "the file named ... is offline or missing" I then went back and changed the files to what they were originally named but still get the same error message. Scott Kelby's good recommends right clicking on the file and i'd have the option to 'find the missing folder'... Not happening. What can I do other than starting over?

I think you might have misinterpreted something in your reading. Try this:

My mac keeps right clicking

This is weird yet annoying, i can't do anything with my laptop. It keeps right clicking whenever i tap or click the trackpad.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem here?

Please help me out if you have fixed the problem.
Thanks so much

Uncheck and recheck it.

Mac Dock Right Click for Document Selection

Will this ever come back? CS3 had this feature and it was perfect. Since CS4 it has been missing or broken. Would love this back as I work with tons of files on a daily basis all open at the same time.

Right if I have multiple windows of Chrome open it will list the window not the individual tabs in those windows. But I get nothing anymore with Photoshop.
I think it reads the document windows as tabs at all times since they windows can dock, but I could be wrong. Seems like whatever causes it can't be fixed with preference options or view options.

Why can I no longer copy a word or phrase from a New York Times article with a right-click? To copy I have to go to the toolbar Edit|Copy.

mouse right-click no longer allows me to select Copy of a word or phrase in a New York Times article. To copy I have to use the Firefox tool bar Edit|Copy.

One or more of your add-ons could be affecting the right-click function. You did not list your extensions. Type '''about:support''' in your URL/location bar to see a list of your Extensions, modified preferences and other Firefox information.
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
'''''Other Issues''''': ~~red:You have installed plug-ins with known security issues. You should update them immediately.~~
'''Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox''': your ver. 10.0 r32; current ver. 10.1 r53 ('''important security update 2010-06-10''')

-check to see that Firefox is completely closed (''Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window'')
-double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Flash

*'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7''' you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
*'''NOTE for IE:''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.

Right click on tool does not show additional tools anymore.

CC Illustrator version 18.1.1 on Mac Pro, Windows 8.1 partition, mac full size keyboard, logitech mouse. All software up to date, reinstalled illustrator, reinstalled mouse hardware and driver. Reset default essentials and tools window several times and turned computer on an off.
Right click works in other programs, desktop etc...
literally worked one day and didn't the next.
I'm petty sure this has to be operator error but, like, how?
Its a right click…..
This is how it used to work:
Step one:
right click on shape builder tool...
Step two: (automatic)
other tool options pop up….
This is no longer the case.
If anyone is compelled to say something like… "its left click and drag…." please stop and update the current version of your illustrator to CC 18.1.1
I have no idea how other versions of illustrator work, but I do know thats not how it works in CC 18.1.1
I'm not trying to be a smart ***, please don't interoperate this to be anything other than a guy trying to figure out why the most basic of things is not working and I've already had a great many people look at me like I'm an idiot for asking about this problem….

buitesnek,
You may try the list which cures strangenesses, especially those that appear after things have been working. Some of the things to try on the list may seem weird, but every one has proved to work in some strange case.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Magic Mouse-Right click and left click reversed?

Hello! Thanks in advance for any info you can provide regarding my problem. My wireless keyboard and magic mouse recently has been disconnecting from Bluetooth. A few days ago they both quit, and after a call to apple tech support, I tried everything, including re-loading my system software(Mac Pro, Snow Leopard 10.6.2) When my keyboard and mouse finally came back up, when I de-selected the right click, the mouse wouldn't click. The cursor moves around, but no click. I have to plug in another mouse and select right click, and then the mouse will click, but the right and left click are reversed.
At one point, when plugging in an old wired mouse, I was able to select whether I wanted to enable the right or left click, and when I selected left click, the mouse quit clicking. I can't seem to get thatoption now with a wired mouse, and that might not even be related.
Can anyone help! I'd like to get my Magic mouse working correctly!
Thanks for all your help!

When I right click on an Item to copy and pasdte it the Copyt button on my mouse does not work with firefox, it works everywhere else...I highlight an item andt

I have tried all the solutions so far. they did not change the outcome. My right mouse will not show the copy command. I am getting the drop down menu when I right click and I can highlight words but when I right click to copy and paste the copy does not work... it was working fine until I did the last update for foxfire.. I have 22.0 version

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I can no longer change my song names like i used to. i use to be able to right click and go to "get info" and then change the song name, artist and album, now i can't is there any other way to change the songs name and info

When I get songs and put them on my itunes accout on my computer I used to be able to rename them right clicking, going to "get info" and then renaming everything I wanted like song name, album and artwork. I also use to be able to click on the song then click and hold on it and be able to rename it. But all the songs I have gotten after the last update have not been able to be renamed in any of the old ways I use to be able to. Is there any other way to rename songs because I know I can't undo updates and that seems to be whats causing it.
Thankyou for your time
