Lost extension options in right click menu since v22.0 upgrade

I upgraded to v22.0 (Linux) the other day and since then I've lost exetnsion options that were previously listed in the right click context menu. I'm not certain which version I was on before but I believe it was v20 and all were working in conjuction together fine.
Notably the missing options are no-script, a link shortener, and DownloadThemAll options. If I disable all the addons and only renable (one by one) no-script, the link shorter and adblock then they will appear. However, enabling DownloadThemAll after has no effect and it will not appear. Further, enabling the subsequent addons will cause a loss of no-script and the link shortener.
It seems as if rather than expanding menu list entries, firefox is removing others to make room in a set amount of lines. The image search options addon, will cause a loss of no-script and the link shortner, but disabling it again does not bring back no-script and the link shortener. Only shortens the menu list as if neither are installed.
How can I get these to appear together in the right click context menu together again?
**edit** I ended up using a menu editor, even though they were all set to display they weren't. However, I disabled a single line that I didn't really need in the menu and all except DownloadThemAll are displaying now. It'll work for now so you can mark this resolved.

In the past I have also experienced this and similar issues with both Linux and Windows systems. I am uncertain whether my discovery will help you and you may have even tried this yourself already. So this may be repetitious to you. You probably know that in every operating system there are two types of settings that are in effect. The first group of settings is at the browser level. The second group of settings works at the level of the operating system. You might try checking that your settings for the extensions are the same in your browser as in your OS. The browser settings may be changed through the browser toolbar (usually), except for a few browsers. At the level of the operating system, these settings are usually changed most easily through the Control Panel. In Windows systems, look for a link in the Control Panel that reads "Internet Options". In other systems, the link may read "Connections", "Preferences", or something to that effect. If you discover discrepancies between your settings at browser vs. OS, then I would go ahead and change the extensions you wish to include and make sure that they are the same at browser and OS levels - this will usually resolve the "bouncing" (e.g. one time an extension appears, then it's gone; then if re-enabled, another one disappears, etc.). Hope this helps, and if this is the issue, and you consistently match extensions, this should resolve these issues permanently.

Option in "right click menu" to create or combine a PDF is blank. How to restore?

I am using CS6 and have had it installed on this machine for about 2 years. Several months ago I noticed that when right-clicking a file the options to create PDF files is blank but the space in the menu is there and if I click that placeholder, it still functions. Today, I decided to search online to see if anyone else has had this issue and find a way to fix it. Unfortunately, my search has not turned up a solution - could be I just don't quite know what I am looking for to be able to phrase it correctly. Screen shot below to help illustrate the issue.
Do you know if this is related to a particular add-in or program I should be looking at closer?
Trying to think of anything that might have changed around that time and coming up short. We did switch to MS office 365 this fall, but I am not 100% sure if it started at the same time as that move.
Any tips are welcome. Thank you for any assistance!
Gina

Sara, thank you for the advice.
I just used the Repair Acrobat Installation function in the Help menu which concluded with a system restart. This did not make a change to my issue.
With that result, I went ahead and uninstalled Acrobat from my computer with intent to reinstall as suggested. I downloaded Acrobat X Pro from the site and in the installation set up prompts, where it asks for the serial number I enter in the one I have for my whole CS6 program. It is rejecting the number as invalid. I am sure this is because it is for the suite rather than the single program.
How would you suggest I reinstall Acrobat X Pro? or, do I need to reinstall in the whole CS6 suite of programs?
Thanks,
Regina

ITunes 9 right-click menu, 'get info' replaced with 'play/pause'

Why oh why have apple moved this... now when I want to quickly edit the tag of a file I'm playing or pausing... the most infuriating thing ever, almost as bad as when they decided to leave off "group compilations" on iPod classics.
Is there anyway to remove the play/pause option on right click menu's?!?

Agreed. It even is actually out of context in the right click menu, and here's why.
Example, I am playing Song A and then pause it and I want to deal with Song Z way at the bottom. If I right click Song Z and click Play, it continues playing Song A so the right click tool becomes VERY misleading.
Think about it. EVERY option in the Right-Click/Alt-Click box relates to the selected song(s) EXCEPT for the Play/Pause option. Sounds like a case of "which one of these is not like the other" you know? Therefore with the several other options of Space Bar, the Play/Pause button in the Upper Left hand corner, and the Control->PLAY, I'd say REMOVE it entirely from the right click menu since it doesn't belong.

How to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users.

Hi! I would like to know if there is any possibility to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users. I know that's possible to edit userContent.css or userChrome.css, but this concerns only a profile at a time and being in a domain, I would like to set this for all people using Firefox.
Can it be possible to edit a mozilla.cfg file to get the same result?
Thank you in advance for help and tips.

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.

Where are some of the right click menu options?

I started using firefox 4 and i noticed a lot of the options i used in the right click menu are now gone. I used to be able to right click on an annoying image on a webpage and click "block images from" and it would give me a message at the top saying it will not always block images from that web address. Is there somewhere to get this option back? Also i can no longer right click on a tab and bookmark it from that menu is there a way to get this option back as well?

Sara, I started having the same problem yesterday. In my case I was able to remedy it by disabling FasterFox 3.9.81. If you don't have that installed, I would recommend turning off your extensions (one by one), restarting firefox, and testing until you find the offender. Hope that helps!

Before 4.0 I could right click on an open tab and start a new tab. Now the option to do so is no longer on the right click menu, and I have to click the plus sign.

Before 4.0 I could right click on an open tab and start a new tab. Now the option to do so is no longer on the right click menu, and I have to click the plus sign if I want to open a new tab. It is kind of bugging the hell out of me. Is there a way to fix it other than uninstalling and reinstalling the old firefox? Because this is a big part of the way I browse.

You can also use ctrl-T or File > New tab (if you have the menubar showing). I can't find an extension that will help you bring back the previous behavior but there probably will be one soon.

Right-click menu not showing certain options?

When I highlight text, and right-click, it used to show options such as "Search Google for '(the highlighted text)'", or "Open Link in New Tab" if the text was a URL. Now, it shows none of these options, or copy, paste, cut, delete, select all, and others. I have a picture '''[http://i.imgur.com/q9N00.png here]''' as an example, and this is seriously annoying me, as the searching for highlighted text was one of my most used features. I've used multiple add-ons that edit the right-click menu, but none of them have worked.
Any ideas on how I can get it back to normal? Thanks.

dont know if this will help but heres the table i remembered :

HT201403 It would be very helpful for Apple to re-instate the view as icon option for a pdf file in an email on the right click menu? As far as I can see no easy way for a basic user to get this back?

Would be great for Apple to reinstate the pdf as icon in mail - but using the right click menu. It seems to have gone - and as a basic user there seems to be no simple solution - I used the rich/plain text swap but it didn't work...
Apple - we need you to solve!

http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
It's highly doubtful that Apple will change this in Mac OS X 10.7 since that OS version has now been discontinued for quite some time. Whether they will change that in OS X 10.9 or a future version I can't say.
If this is a serious issue for you, you can look into Attachement Tamer:
http://lokiware.info/Attachment-Tamer
It's not free, but it addresses much more than the issue of PDFs appearing as images, not icons, so it might be worth the price.

Firefox 8 and 9beta. Back and Forward buttons greyed out. Right click menu also has forward and back greyed out. Updated all plugins, then disabled all plugins and extensions and started in safe mode. No change.

My forward and back buttons are greyed out after update to Firefox 8. Tried to move to 9 beta, but same behavior. Back and Forward also greyed out in right click menu.
Attempted to fix by updating all plugins and extensions, then disabled all plugins and extensions, and then tried to start in safe mode. Nothing worked.

You could have backed up your profile folder. If you did, [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] can help :)

Why take away the menu options on right-click?

Before the most recent update, I could right-click on my page and press a key like 'b' or 'r' to go back and reload.
You have taken away those keystroke options w/ the new click-friendly right-click menu. This slows me down and there's no reason we can't have both.

I spend most of my time w/ one hand on the mouse and left hand on keyboard.
It worked so nicely just to right-click and hit a key to go back, refresh, etc..

Is there a way to bring back the "Open a New Tab" option via right-clicking on the Tab?

I just upgraded to latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday it informed me that an upgrade to Firefox 5.(something) was available and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I went for it. However, I hadn't used it since then till today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for it too.
While this version looks nice, it feels a bit odd to use it. Previously whenever I wanted to open a new Tab, I right-clicked on any of the Tabs (active tab or any other Tab) and after right-clicking, it had the option to '''''Open a New Tab''''' along with few other options. Now there's no such option. There's the + button to open a new tab, but what if I want to open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it? Similarly the option to Open in New Window is also missing.
Is there a way to bring back those previous Tab options/settings? If yes, how?
P.S. In my bookmark toolbar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as it previously had in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I'd upgraded to version 5.something I hadn't used it except for opening the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on right clicking the bookmark icon are:
Open
Open in a New Tab
Open in a New Window
New Bookmark...
New Folder...
New Separator
Cut
Copy
Paste
Delete
Properties
I'd also like to mention here that I know of the shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time by trying to help me that way. Thanks.

No. The Tab bar is a regular toolbar in current Firefox versions, so you get the normal right-click context menu of a toolbar if you right-click the tab bar.
You can double click on empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button. 
You can drag a link on that new tab button to open that link in a new tab. 
You can also drag the new tab button on another toolbar if you would like that better. 
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

Hi,
I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table. However, none of the comments copied. When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option. -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window. This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
declare
l_sql varchar2(32767);
c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
begin
     execute immediate p_sql;
end;
begin
run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes. It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12. (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
declare
c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' AND comments IS NOT NULL;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
Thoughts?
thanks//jacob

I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time.
I don't agree with this work flow. Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys. Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand. Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.

This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.

A long left click shows the right click menu

When I hold down the left mouse button, the right click menu appears.
I want to turn off this function, but can't remember which extension controls it or whether the function is built in to Firefox.

Hooray!! Found it! Thank you Google.
I found an old - very old - thread on Mozillazine.org:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=340572
And it IS a normal Firefox feature, but is normally OFF.
I think I must have recently turned it on after reading a "Firefox Tips and Tricks" article somewhere.
Anyway, the preference is called "ui.click_hold_context_menus".
And I just remembered that I added it in my "user.js" preferences file, amongst a load of others:
* Disable the Delay When Installing New Extensions
user_pref("security.dialog_enable_delay", 0);
* To turn off the URL greying
user_pref("browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled", false);
* To unhide the "http" portion of a URL
user_pref("browser.urlbar.trimURLs", false);
* Enable spell checker in multi-line text boxes & single-line text boxes
user_pref("layout.spellcheckDefault", 2);
* Double underline style
user_pref("ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle", 4);
* Cycle through open tabs with Ctrl+Tab
user_pref("browser.ctrlTab.previews", false);
* Disable Animations for Full Screen
user_pref("browser.fullscreen.animateUp", 0);
* Click and hold on a hyperlink to show the context menu
user_pref("ui.click_hold_context_menus", true);
* Instant Apply Preferences Without Closing Options Window
user_pref("browser.preferences.instantApply", true);
* Middle-click in any textfield, addressbar or searchbox to paste clipboard
user_pref("middlemouse.paste", true);
So there's a lesson to be learned here: don't add too many tweaks to your Firefox preferences at the same time or you may forget what you did!
Thanks, all. I'll now mark this as "Solved"!

Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
How can I fix this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How to get rid of right click menu?

I like to mouse over a hyperlink in a web page and select "open in a new tab". The right click menu jumps in the way. I don't like or use the right click menu. How do I stop it from stopping me? As a side note, the reason I like "open in a new tab" is that some websites will open on the same page and in some events the back button will not return you to that page. I find the new tab very helpful and the right click menu a pain in the ---.
Win 8.1
Firefox - newest
Alternatively, is there a way to add "open in a new tab" to the menu that gets in the way?
I was trying to open "Sign Up/Sign In" in a new tab.
Completely irrelevant to my question, but since you see my tabs, I was watching Jon Stewart on Hulu. He was raving about the Katy Perry Superbowl show. I wanted to see what he was talking about. I don't give a flying crap in the rain about the Stupor Bowl.

The right-click menu is context-sensitive. When you right-click a link, you should have the option to open in a new tab, new window, or new private window. (In a private window, "new window" is not displayed.) The menu in your screen shot would normally appear if you clicked a blank area of the page without a link directly under the mouse pointer.
I can't think of any built-in way to get the Open in New Tab command just mousing over a hyperlink. Do you have an add-on that does that automatically for you? If so, I wonder whether it might need an update?
