How do I change mouse button behavior in firefox to make new mouse shortcuts?

Hi,
For some time now I've wondered if it is possible to easily change the default behavior of mouse buttons in Firefox. What I'd like to do is define a new mouse button combination which replicates the function of an already-defined keyboard shortcut. In particular, currently, when one holds down the shift key while left-clicking the mouse while over a link, that link is opened in a new window. What I'd like to do is to have exactly the same behavior occur when I click and hold the left mouse button while pressing and releasing the right mouse button. This then makes opening a link in a new window a menu-less, one-handed operation.
Anyone have any ideas how this might be done? Thanks!

  • How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox?

    How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox? I.e. I want to change all icons that appear in the browser - the loading "gif" the firefox...well... fox of fire in the "about" page, etc. Also what text shows up, for example on the "about:robots" page, and when hovering over a button, etc.
    I could do something like that with an earlier version of Firefox, and I found the quotes from the "about:robots" page in the "omni.ja" archive, extracted, changed them and replaced in the original archive, along with other icons, however they do not seem to be implemented. :/
    I do not mean changing the desktop or .exe icons, already did that.

    You can make a theme, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Themes

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created with

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How i can change temporary files directory on firefox 3.6.8 because my system disk has little space

    how i can change temporary files directory on firefox 3.6.8 because my system disk has little space

    In Firefox,the equivalent ofInternet Explorer temporary internet files is the cache.
    You can change the location of the cache by adding a new preference, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
    If you are not confident about adding the preference, I know of one add-on that lets you specify the path of the cache. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13288/ Super Tab Mode] is an add-on that enhances Firefox tab handling, but also has a section for changing the location of the cache

  • If the batteries exploded inside my wireless mouse, do i need to buy a new mouse?  any thoughts about saving my mouse?  thank you!  nancy

    if the batteries exploded inside my wireless mouse, do i need to buy a new mouse? any thoughts about saving my mouse? thank you! nancy

    The chemicals or materials from inside the batteries can cause circuit
    damage in the mouse, the mouse may need to be replaced. You may
    have to check with the battery manufacturers customer relations to see
    if they offer guarantees covering products damaged those batteries...
    And those chemicals may remain as a health concern since the mouse
    cannot be subjected to washing, since there are electrical parts inside.
    How old is the mouse, and how old are the batteries?
    Some products have a limited warranty or guaranty.
    In some locations, that may be longer than in others.
    Were the batteries rechargeable or disposable?
    I'd consult an Apple Store and genius bar about the mouse and issues
    or concerns about the cause (or blame?) of the leaking batteries, or
    which way to go in that matter. I cannot suggest what else to do; we're
    not Apple representatives, but in a retail Apple Store they have options.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hello,
    If you can actually see all of your tiles, you can change your configuration page settings:
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
    # Search for '''browser.newtabpage.columns''' and change it to 3, or however many columns you like
    #* Note: '''browser.newtabpage.rows''' allows you to change to how many rows you want as well
    Alternatively, you can set a fixed number of tiles with the following extension:

  • Change mouse button behavior

    I am trying to change the behavior of my mouse buttons, specifically, I want ALT-<Mouse2Click> to f.raise_lower the active window regardless of where (in the active window) the mouse is pressed. Currently, Btn2Click on the frame or title bar exibits this behavior, but not in the window part.
    I have tried adding a line to both my ~/.dt/dtwmrc and to the system dtwmrc file, but neither change seems to have any effect.
    This is the relevant section of my dtwmrc file:
    Buttons DtButtonBindings
    <Btn1Down> root f.marquee_selection
    <Btn2Click> root f.toggle_frontpanel
    <Btn3Down> root f.menu DtRootMenu
    Shift<Btn1Click> frame|icon f.lower
    <Btn1Click> frame|icon f.raise
    <Btn1Click2> frame f.maximize
    <Btn1Click2> icon f.restore
    <Btn2Click> frame|icon f.raise_lower
    <Btn3Down> frame|icon f.post_wmenu
    Alt<Btn1Click> frame|icon|window f.raise
    Alt<Btn1Click2> frame|window f.minimize
    Alt<Btn1Click2> icon f.restore
    Alt<Btn2Click> window f.raise_lower
    Alt<Btn1Down> frame|icon|window f.move
    I added the "Alt<Btn2Click> window f.raise_lower" line.
    Any thoughts? Am I doing it wrong? The CDE docs available online would indicate that this is the correct place to make such a change.
    Thanks,
    Linus

  • How do i disable mouse button 4 and 5 to open new tabs or windows?

    Okay so I got myself a new mouse, its a logitech G700s mouse but I don't think that matters anyway.
    The problem is that the extra buttons on the mouse (small buttons on the side) i have are assigned as "mouse button 4" and "mouse button 5". Now to a standart mac system these buttons are assigned to open a new window or a new tab in safari but when I customly set these buttons to something else it does both of those things. For example i sat the mouse button 5 to mission control (show all windows) but now if I am using safari it also opens something in a new page if I am holding the cursor on a link.
    I just want to know how I can remove that function. To make the mouse button 5 and 4 do nothing.
    The system I use to customise the mouse buttons are a separate program. I need to know how to disable this new page function in the mac software.
