Left click in input feild produces menu

Regardless of screen or Internet location this problem is extremely annoying. Many times I am trying to change the words in a search input field. Clicking on the left button to highlight or highlight drag a number of words fails but a menu which looks similar to the add-in menu for Tab Mix Plus appears. Tab mix plus has no entry for turning on a left click menu or turning off a left click menu. Nor does Firefox. How can I get this menu to stop appearing. Continuing to left click final works after the menu has appeared several time. Some times it does not do it at all.

hello bmazak, it sounds like an extension might be interfering here. please try launching firefox in safe mode once and see if the issue is occurring there too.

  • Left clicking mouse acts as if I'm right clicking, and comes up with right click menu?

    Hi I was wondering whether anyone could help me with this, I've had this problem for a week or so now and it's beginning to get frustrating.
    I have a newish iMac, bought in January, and I've been having this problem the last week or so, where when I left click something, it acts as if I am right clicking it and it comes up with the right click menu. I has happened mostly while on the internet (chrome), but also when I'm just on my desktop, but less often.
    It only happens every so often, and rights itself after a couple of minutes. What could be causing this, and how do I stop it?
    This is my first ever post on here, so I do apologise if I have been vague or I have posted this question in the wrong section, I am also new to macs (well since January).
    The mouse I am using is a dell wired mouse, a couple of years old, which I just plugged in without the need of installing software etc.
    Many thanks for any help in advance.

    Hello & welcome!
    No worries, you did great for a 1st post, & this is generally a friendly place.
    It sounds light it's the Mouse button from here, to test it...
    Go to System Preferences > Mouse, change the Primary button to the Right button... does the Right button ever do that now as the left button?

  • How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5?

    How do I disable the brushes popup menu when I left click in Photoshop CS5? I am trying to use the clone stamp and I am not able to get a sample because of this popup menu.

    LOL,  I can't even begin to complain with the number if times I misread questions, and then try to break my own record for the number of typos in a single post.
    The image above was taken on a photgraphic weekend where the group (of all young ladies ) I was travelling with, set us a photography challenge.  The one above was my response to a 'faceless portrait'.  The only other one I attempted was this response for a picture of a 'wild animal', featuring camera club president Liz.
    Oh what fun we had, laughing and laughing until our faces fell off.

  • Back button opens link menu on left-click that won't go away

    Recently whenever I left-click the back button, there is a drop-down menu that appears. It indicates that it is only supposed to show up if I either right-click or click and hold the left mouse button (also I have to click elsewhere to make it disappear), and it's annoying the heck out of me. How do I make it stop appearing for left-clicks?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Java System Tray Menu- pop up on left click.

    Hi,
    The system tray menu will normally pop up on mouse right click. I need to make this pop up on mouse left click. Is it possible? I had tried a lot and failed to find a solution. Please help me on this issue.
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your answer,
    I had tried a lot to make pop up the system tray menu on mouse left click. Finally i got a way to do this. My code is,
    MouseListener ml;
            ml = new MouseListener() {
                public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                    if (mouseflag == 0) {
                        try {
                            Robot robot = new Robot();
                            // RIGHT CLICK
                            robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK);
                            robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK);
                        } catch (Exception exe) {
                            System.out.println("error=" + exe);
                        mouseflag = 1;
                    } else {
                        mouseflag = 0;
            public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
              System.out.println("Tray icon: Mouse entered");
            public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
              System.out.println("Tray icon: Mouse exited");
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
              System.out.println("Tray icon: Mouse pressed");
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
              System.out.println("Tray icon: Mouse released");
          };here i had created a mouse right click using code (robot class) on mouse clicked. Now i can pop up menu on left click. But now my issue is, i am not able to remove right click functionality. I think this is in built function for system tray menu. please help or give suggestions on this issue. I think that the way which i used to pop up menu on left click is not a good one. If i removed right click then this code may not work.
    Thank you,
    Sreejith P.M.

  • Activate menu on left click

    Dear all,
    Is there a way to activate the run time menu on left click also and not just on right click ?
    Thanks,

    Sure. Just handle Mouse Down? Event where you can "swap" buttons.

  • The left-click options in the web browser are disabled in the latest version

    In all the previous versions of firefox I've had no issues in the drop down menu when left-clicking to either open a link in a new tab or save highlighted text or even saving an image to my drive. However now with the latest update (20.0.1) I have come across something which disturbs me by the full length of the drop down menu (too long, too much stuff on it) and half the options are disabled, which makes it harder for me to surf the web as I am used to doing. I have taken a screenshot of my issue . I hope it will help. Also, that my OS is windows 7. http://www.darkworlds.se/images/other/firefx20bug.jpg

    This is a problem related to having an outdated version of Firebug, most likely you've disabled automatic update of addons.
    The easiest way to fix this is to go to Tools -> Addons, and then clicking the wheel button up near the search field. From there you choose "Check for Updates" and unless you need specific versions of an addon, choose the "Update addons automatically" while you are there.
    You will most likely have to update Firebug twice, as it updates to an outdated version, and from there to the newest one.
    This is the solution I stumbled upon as I had the same exact problem, where I tried creating a new profile and the likes.

  • Ctrl and left click not working in DW CS5

    When Im working in design view for some reason my links are not working when I press ctrl and left click. To make them work I have to right click and select follow link.
    Its not a major problem because I can still carry on, but its annoying!

    I presume you're talking about Live View, because links don't work in Design view.
    One thing you can try is selecting View > Live View Options > Follow Links Continuously, or select the option from the Live View Options menu in the Browser Navigation toolbar.
    It works only for the current tab, but is useful if you're following a lot of links.

  • Can't open new tabs with double left click on tab bar in FF29.0.1?

    I've always enjoyed how tabs work in FF, mainly with them being on the bottom (which I had to find a work-around for by making the userChrome.css file - the "about:config" modification no longer works) and also being able to double left click on the tab bar to create new tabs.
    With the most recent update, double left clicking on the tab bar no longer has a function, and to create new tabs, I must now middle click. It's not a big deal really, but is there a way to change this back?
    I searched through some options on the "about:config" page, searched "tab" and found an option there: "browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick" that seemed promising. I changed the value to "False" but it didn't change anything - in fact, middle clicking still creates new tabs.
    I tried adding a modified function with "leftclick" in it, just to see if it might do anything but, nothing.
    Any other suggestions for restoring the double left click function to create new tabs? Thanks!

    ''Hydrilus wrote:''
    browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick
    If set to false, middle-clicking <u>links on web pages</u> opens them in a new window. It probably also affects bookmarks, history entries, and items in the address bar drop-down menu.
    ''Hydrilus wrote:''

    You need an add-on. Here are two I know about:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer]. In the add-on's option window, click the Special tab and check "Tabs toolbar: double click opens a new tab"
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ Tab Mix Plus]. In the add-on's option window, click the Mouse icon, then the Mouse Clicking tab, then the Double-click tab below that. [http://tmp.garyr.net/support/viewpage.php?t=3&p=mouse-clicking The Tab Mix Plus help page] has more details.

  • How do I get my application to continue processing instead of waiting for a menu selection when the user clicks on a drop-down menu?

    I'm developing a process-control application,using serial communication for data acquisition. My problem - I need this serial read of data to be continuous. But, when I click on a drop-down menu, the rest of the processing halts until I click on one of the menu items in the drop-down list and I lose data in that interval. What can I do?

    In most process-control applications it is not about just avoiding lost measurement data. The most important is having a robust control-algoritm that reacts to a change of input-situation in a given time.
    A non-responsive system is not a very reliable process-control solution.
    The vi you mentioned are only around since the latest versions and the old method of polling controls still suits many applications (but that's another discussion).
    As about RS-232 input time-outs, I have never used that.
    In the time before VISA was created I (as other LabVIEW users I discovered) used a method of storing every incoming string in a buffer (memory-vi with USR) and that still works (classic serial VI's versus VISA is also another never-ending discussio

  • Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

    Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
    Basic problem is:
    I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
    Right click does work.
    I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
    I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
    1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
    2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
    5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
    4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
    5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
    6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
    So now I'm back to square one.
    Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
    I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
    many thanks

    OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
    So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
    While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
    Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
    I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
    I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
    This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
    The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
    What did I do? I fixed it and  f***ing broke it again!
    Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
    Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
    Help forum PLEASE!
    Regards,
    nik

  • I'm working with a Mac, with 10.10.2 system.  My Audition program has been working fine for years now.  But, there is a problem I can't solve.  All my markers on a given piece of audio allows me to left click to highlight the time signature until my audio

    I'm working with a Mac, with 10.10.2 system.  My Audition program has been working fine for years now.  But, there is a problem I can't solve.  All my markers on a given piece of audio allows me to left click to highlight the time signature until my audio reaches the one hour point.  From there on, the left click will not give me the drop down menu in order to copy and then paste into an Excel sheet I then have to submit for the proofing purposes.  After the one hour mark, I can only control/c in order to highlight, then when I slide up to my Excel sheet, I'm able to right click and paste.  Why is the program not, all of a su allowing me to left cllick the mouse and have a drop down menu give me the option to "copy, " as it does for any time signature markers up to 1:00:00.000?

    Which version of Audition? With the latest version of Audition running on a Windows 7 machine I can't get a dropdown menu at all when I left click on the time in Markers List. The only way to do it is with cntrl-c.

  • Newest version 18.0.2 - some hyperlinks on some pages cannot be opened by simple left-click

    Firefox 18.0.2 - only in this newest version - in many cases (but not all) hyperlinks on pages (e.g. search results and also common links on some sites) cannot be opened by simple left-click, Firefox just do nothing at this moment, only refreshes current page.
    I mean not opening in a new tab but even in the same tab - link is not opened anyway though link is correct itself, it opens if I do this by right-click or CTRL+click (open in new tab or new window) .
    Strange issue which I clearly see now after last update to version 18.0.2 (on Windows XP). Everything have been okay a little ago on previous version.
