I can't right click anywhere in the browser without the browser freezing for at least 3-5 seconds.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

AFAIK then there is no way to do that system wide. You can only do that via userChrome.css or an extension like the Menu Editor per profile .You can install extensions globally, but the user will have to enable them anyway. That is not required for userChrome.css code.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Cannot right click in web browser

Cannot right click to save pictures or to open up another tab inside web browser.

Firefox crashing 6.0.2, a dozen times or more a day even after starting in safe mode, disabling add-ons and going through all the guides on Firefox crashes

I've done 3 uninstalls, 2 of them all the way, one keeping the customizations. I have reinstalled each time. I've updated my plug-ins, restarted in safe mode with everything disabled (including plug-ins and add-ons) and am going nuts trying to figure out why Mozilla keeps crashing. It ALWAYS crashes on the Firefox add-on page, it sometimes crashes on Youtube and Facebook and rarely on google pages. I have ran MalwareBytes, SuperAnti-Spyware, Norton scans and Norton Power Eraser, they all say that I am clean, my computer is clean and the worse thing they can find are cookies.
Please help. Thanks!!

The browser freezes for a second while playing Zuma Blitz and Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. It also freezes for a second while typing. What's going on?

During gameplay on Facebook it falls under Adobe Flash. If I "END" the plugin-container.exe the game crashes and have to refersh the page, in which case the plugin starts all over again. There seems to be no way to play without this process running. My typing is also freezing for a second before it catches up to my fingers. This has been happening for about two weeks. I never had this problem playing these games before.
My OS is Windows Vista and I'm running Firefox version 3.6.13

Update: Firefoxe's best browser was version ~2.2.21!
Ever since then, the user experience has been less and less. Slower browser, feats most users don't use (like skins)... really.. I'm a bit disappointed at the (negative) progress of late.

How can I right click without the mouse to bring up context menu?

On Windows systems there is a special key that brings up the context menu of the currently focused item. I would like to be able to do the same on the Mac. I don't want to reach for the mouse every time I need to bring up the context menu as some applications rely heavily on those.
Is it possible?

No there is no contextual menu button or hot key combination for OS X. I'm sure there are some third-party applications that enable this, but nothing that I know of. You might search http://www.versiontracker.com for Mac applications/utilities that have to do with contextual menus, and see what pops up.

Super irritating windows problem - how to right click without drivers!!??

i'm trying to help a friend install x64 windows 7 on her "new" macbook. i say "new" bc here in argentina they are a bit behind on the latest models. we have a late 2009 macbook.
she bought this computer before and i successfully installed windows 7 x64 on it, but she changed back to a pc, then BACK to a macbook. same model.
for some reason, the install of windows was flawless this time, despite using the same windows disc and the same model macbook.
ANYWAY, i'm at the point where i put in the install dvd to install the windows drivers, and i get the message "x64 not supported on this machine"....
i've found a workaround online, where i can go into the bootcamp64.msi file, etc...
but how the h.e.l.l. do you right click without the bootcamp drivers installed????
this is windows 7, which is a piece of krap, but it's what she bought....
this is super annoying. anyone have any ideas?
i need to right click so i can install the drivers so that the trackpad can do what right click is supposed to do.
thanks...

hey, thanks for responding....
that didn't work, because i'm on a trackpad that doesn't have the bootcamp drivers installed, but in order to install the drivers in windows 7, it requires a right click to access the drop down menu to "troubleshoot compatibility" of the bootcamp x64 driver...
but after some digging around, i found that the work-around for right-click WITHOUT drivers is the following:
shift-f10 (click)
again, thanks for responding. i love apple forums, usually people willing to help others, especially when it comes to lame windows compatibility.
hopefully someone who encounters this same b.s. will find this post.
take care!

Windows 7 64 bit: I just upgraded Firefox to 7.1 , I can't watch video on youtube, video freezes, then the browser freezes. I right click on the icon showing the page is open on the taskbar & click close then cancel, it starts then freezes again?

When I watch any video on youtube, every video first starts with short freezes then freezes the Firefox 7.1 Browser window. I have to right click on the icon that shows the browser is open on the taskbar at the bottom of windows and then click on close& cancel to get it to start working again. Also, on any site, I am having problems with links & functions that suddenly stop working, site connections being dropped frequently for no reason, my Modem is stable & internet shows connected. On facebook when I click a button(photos) it doesn't work, in Amazon I click on "submit" and the button stops functioning, in yahoo mail I can click on a button to "send" mail and it won't work. I can open them in IE9 or Chrome but not in Firefox. I have tried disabling all plugins.I also have tried disabling all but flash and still the problems persist. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF.

Command + R *should* take it to a recovery console. Command + Option + P + R resets the PRAM, but that doesn't sound like your fix.If all of your buttons are working fine on OSX side, I would ignore PRAM / NVRAM / SMC reset tricks, since these are tested as working fine.
I would say you should probably reinstall the drivers for bootcamp. I tried this with 5 in Windows 8 and it gives you an option to repair. The reason I say this is because the UI isn't showing up, which means that it's using another driver.
If this doesn't work, go into device manager and then roll back to your previous settings.
One more thing comes to mind. Do you ever use Parallels or VMWare to load your bootcamp partition? They have their own driver packages which can cause some unwanted behavior when using windows natively.
One last thing you can do is try to by-pass the GUI powerplan entirely. You can use the Powercfg command, which, as it happens, has instructions on how to forcefully set the brightness values. You probably won't be able to make it through these instructions since you will get an error at some point, but that will give us more diagnostic information.
Good luck!

I cannot see the download page when i click on the process at the upper right corner of the browser, is it normal?

I have asked to download a video from an online grabber. It started downloading and the process was showing how much time was left (on the display showing download process) the icon next to the HOME icon on the upper right side of the browser.
I usually click on the icon and it gives me the option "show all downloads". It wasn't working and this is not the first time!
Last time i had to stop a giant download and i couldn't. Even when i restarted FIREFOX it was still running in the background.
I knew this because when i came to close all tabs it said "this will cancel current download".
I had to REINSTALL from ZERO the Firefox.
But now i have this problem where i can't see all the download page. This is the second time and i think it is related to the online video grabber.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

How can I open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box", without right-clicking on the scrollbar of the pane?

To open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box" the LabVIEW Help suggest following:
"Right-click in the scrollbar of a pane and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box."
The Problem is that I would like to switch off the scrollbars, which once done, means I can't right-click on the scrollbar anymore !
There must be a different way to get to this Menu, too ?!

Typically, you would hide the scrollbars only when running, and in this case there is no problem. I guess you should keep at least one of the scrollbars visible in edit mode.
Once both scrollbars are hidden, you can restore them using the "VI properties...windows appearance...customize" dialog.

Since upgrading to 3.6.13, i can no longer open tabs using the extension, only by right clicking on the open page, and then not always. I've had to go to Chrome as i can't get firefox to work.

Firefox worked great. I have been using it for years. When i completed the recent update to 3.6.13, the new tab button/extension little + box quit working. I can click and nothing happens. I right click, get the drop down menu but nothing works. I cannot open a blank tab or windwo as when i want to go somewhere new without closing windows i have open. The only way i can access a new tab is if i go to my bookmarks and open one then use that screen to go where i wanted to go. I've had to switch to Google Chrome to complete tasks i need done online, but it doesn't let me do a lot of what i want to.

I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

Windows XP - no icons, no taskbar, cannot right click

Hello TechNet Support -
Wasn't able to view all forums, am hoping this question will appear in the correct one.
Helping a friend with his Dell desktop - Windows XP SP3. When we try to start up, the desktop background picture appears, but that's it. No desktop icons, no taskbar, cannot right click, nothing.
When I open Task Manager via Ctrl-Alt-Del, I can click the New Task button and run a few programs. IE, Outlook Express, and others. We cannot get to File Manager or any file window that would access his data. Control.exe does not open. [NOTE: sorry, I said
Control.exe but meant Explorer.exe]
I opened a command prompt window and ran chkdsk without /F, it listed a number of index errors. when I ran with /F and said yes to run at next boot Chkdsk did run, but no results, no changes were made, even with /F.
All help appreciated,
John

Ugh. I had this exact problem many years ago three separate times. I fixed it by going into the control panel...have you just typed in "control" or "explorer" to see if that works? Unfortunately I cannot recall for
the life of me what I did after that...I can try to see if I can find something on it later on today but I was able to find my solution online so it should be out there somewhere. There shouldn't be any reason to wipe the system, but the third time it
happened to me was when I moved up to the next OS. Just sayin'
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

I cannot right click without the browser freezing for at least 3-5 seconds. I disabled add-ons and reset firefox - same issue.
