  • I cannot open a new tab with ctrl + T, or by double clicking or by right clicking

    I cannot open a new tab with ctrl + T, or by double clicking or by right clicking, i was using 3.6.18 before when i started facing this problem, than i uninstalled the firefox and reinstalled Firefox - 3.0.6, still the issue has not been resolved, i need help asap as cannot work without new tabs.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbAPLV5/3.12.2.16749
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • Left click behaves as right click and the alphabet keys are not working

    Left click behaves as right click and the alphabet keys are not working

    It could be due to a Windows Update.

  • Mac OS 10.5.6 downloaded Firefox 3.6.13 Came as .dmg When I try to launch it says "Not Recognized". Right click for "Open With" refers me to Disk Utility when same results "Not Recognized"

    About my Mac > G5 Desktop OS 10.5.6
    Want to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.13
    The download comes as a compressed file in .dmg format. When I attempt to launch the .dmg file to decompress I get a error message that says: The following disk images failed to mount: Image > Firefox 3.6.13 Reason > Not Recognized. When I right click to see what opening app it is directed to it says: Open with "DiskImageMounter (default). Disk Utility is offered as another opening resource when I direct the file to Disk Utility and go to Menu Bar select "File" then select "Open Disk Image" (or Cmd + "O") I get the same result. Have tried downloading the file twice more and get the same results

    Vk2mh it sounds like the download was not complete or corrupted.  Where are you downloading the update from?  Have you tried downloading again?

  • Macbook won't left click, but WILL right click.

    A curious problem.
    Over the last few days my MacBook Pro 13 Inch, from 2010 running OSX 10.6.8, has stopped clicking a few times.
    A worn out track pad, you would think. But my magic mouse doesn't click either. And the real kicker is I can still RIGHT click, both with two fingers on the trackpad AND with my magic mouse. I just can't click normally on anything. It's not frozen, as I can still right click, and even navigate between programs using four-finger swipe for expose (then swiping back with the mouse over the program I want), and use keyboard commands to save and quite programs.
    It's as though it's just ignoring of my clicking, both from the trackpad AND the magic mouse.
    It does it out of the blue, and I have had to shut down and restart a few times. But scarily, the last time it did it I couldn't click even after restarting. I then unlugged the power cord and restarted in safe mode and it's working - for now.
    Seems unlikely, but the only thing that it's coincided with are a pair of new Seagate Expansion 1TB hard drives I recently bought. It seems every time the click has frozen, one of these has been plugged in. But I've used this type of hard drive and many others constantly over the years. Correlation or causation?
    Anyone had anything similar, or can shed some light on this?
    Thanks.

    I have been reseaching this problem for the past couple hours because I am dealing with the exact same thing.
    I have found two solutions and possible causes.
    First, try turning off bluetooth completely. Sometimes if you have a paired mouse or paired device it causes the left click to stop working.
    Once you try that and its most likely not the problem, well then I think its your battery. When the battery gets old and starts to go, it will expand. The battery expands and puts pressure on the back of the track pad causing it not to work.
    I am buying a new battery so I will let you know the result.
    My sources and info came from the following forum, well that one and many others. I know this is a late responce but i hope it helps others.

  • Macbook Pro 4,1 trackpad right-click

    I have an early 2008 macbook pro (Macbook Pro 4,1).
    In Lion, the only way to right-click is using ctrl+click. If I select "Secondary click" in System Preferences/Trackpad, it gets automatically un-selected when I exit System Preferences. This is very frustrating. Any idea how to fix it?

    I just found a possible work around in an older thread here,
    -> https://discussions.apple.com/message/15687391#15687391
    quote:
    To workaround this problem on older macbooks, open Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities/ run following command (in one line):
    defaults -currentHost write -g com.apple.trackpad.enableSecondaryClick -bool YES
    then log out and log back in (to disable secondary click pass NO instead of YES as the last argument).
    To workaround this problem on older macbooks, open Terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities/ run following command:
    defaults -currentHost write -g com.apple.trackpad.enableSecondaryClick -bool YES
    then log out and log back in (to disable secondary click pass NO instead of YES as the last argument).
    I'll try it out and report back. But I can't check it right now. Maybe, somebody else can report back too.

  • 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"!

  • How to disable ctrl-click acting as right click?

    Hi there,
    Is there a way to disable the ctrl-click behaviour? I really need ctrl-click to act as a ctrl-click and not as a right click.
    For example in gaming, I use ctrl to crouch, and ctrl-click to shoot while I am crouching, but instead, it uses right click which is not on my purpose.
    I never had this problem before, having a macbook pro for a couple of months now, and the problem appeared yesterday so I know it is possible to do it.
    Edit: I've looked all over the settings and all over the Internet for any answer, found nothing :/
    Thanks for reading

    Hi,
    I've look all over the settings (trackpad, mouse, accessibility) and found nothing that can solve my problem. The issue is not necessary linked to the trackpad (I use USB mouse).
    If you could be more precise I'd appreciate

  • Disabling CTRL+click Mapping to Right-click

    How do I disable CTRL+click from acting as a right-click? I have a Picasa Web Album < <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://picasaweb.google.com > and in order to move groups of photos I need to use the CTRL key but everytime I use that it registers as a right-click. I've looked in the Keyboard Preference Pane but couldn't find any way to disable this behavior.
    12" PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Bump. I have exactly the same issue. The fact that I can't disable the Ctrl-click-to-right-click mapping is driving me nuts!
    C'mon Apple, you're supposed to be the usability champions...

  • My trackpad is freaking out, switching windows when its not suppose to, zooming in on webpages on its own, left clicking when i right click. whats wrong?

    It works fine after I restart, shut down, or put my mac to sleep. Shortly after I do that though it starts acting up, i tried the command option P R trick and that didnt work. I dont think its hardware because the trackpad works occasionaly. HELP!!!

    The Jiggle is due to virtualization and an attempt to fit the contents.  The only solution I can think of is to set the width based on the orientation.

  • How do I install right click to windows running on mac

    I recently installed windows 7 on my Macbook Pro Retina and cannot right click on windows programs! how do I install this?

    Look in Control Panel -> System -> Boot Camp -> Track Pad tab.

  • How do I simulate a right-click in Windows when connected with Remote Desktop 8.0 for Mac OS X?

    When connecting to a remote Windows 7 OS from Mac OS X 10.8.5 with Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.24091, I'm not able to simulate a right-click with the Apple magic mouse.  
    On an older version Microsoft Remote Desktop Client version 2.1.1, I can hold down shift+ctl on the Mac and click the magic mouse to simulate a right-click in Windows.  With this new version RDP 8.0, I can't find any way to simulate a right-click,
    other than to select "Swap mouse buttons" under settings, and then every click is a right-click and then I'm no longer able to left-click (which is even worse).  I've tried several key combinations and nothing seems to work.  Am I missing
    something simple here with the new RDP 8.0 application, or is the right-click simulation not (yet) functional?  
    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    In order to make use of the right-click inside an open session you have three options:
    Standard PC two button USB mouse
    Apple Magic Mouse: To enable right-click, clickSystem Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.
    Apple Magic Trackpad or MacBook Trackpad: To enable right-click, click System Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.
