Mouse Right Click Menus flash and are hard to read

I am using Windows 7, and on FF 14.0.1.
Basically, I am having the exact same issue as is described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/753329?as=aaq
When I right click on menus, or when I go to the Firefox menu, the menu is bordered, but it is transparent. If I click on the location where a menu option is, that option is enabled (open new tab, etc). Or if I use the shortcut key, that also works.
But it's a big pain.

Do you use a custom theme or any add-ons that customize menus?
This was helpful to some users in the other thread: did you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved?

I would like to know how to change the color scheme of my tabs. They are dark grey with a lighter grey print and are hard to read. How do I make them different colors?

When I open Firefox, the tabs for the homepages are dark grey and the print is a lighter grey but they are hard to read. How can I change the color of these tabs and fonts?

Magic Mouse Right click menus not working

Just got a magic mouse (using 10.5.8) and when I right click on a dock icon, the menu comes up (ie empty trash) however I cannot (left) click any of the choices and the menu freezes. I have to right click the desktop to snap out of it. This is happening for all icons/menus. Anyone know of this issue? All other mouse functions (swiping, scrolling etc...) seem to be working. Regular right click functions work, it's just this menu issue.
thanks

First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
If not then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Function Keys and Mouse Right Click Stopped Working On New iMac

I bought a new iMac a couple of days ago and everything was working fine until last night when I noticed that the volume up/down function keys and also the mouse right click no longer worked.
For the mouse I tried turning off the right click option and back on again and also tried another mouse which has the same problem. Both work ok on a MBP which I have.
I have tried doing the normal SMC and PRAM resets which doesn't solve the problem.
One program which I installed after I got the computer was Logmein which screwed up my audio settings. After uninstalling that my audio settings are ok but I was wondering if the program could also have changed some other settings.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the System/Keyboard preference pane to see if the Function key option is checked?

Mouse Right-Click menu with JTextField and swing

Hello,
I created a small app for providing an organized gui to insert data and log it to a text file. I just recently converted it to swing to improve the functionality of it and try to get away from some of the bugs I found in using regular java.awt.
So far so good, all of my complaints with regular awt are gone using swing, but I have one problem I see as a real pain.
With a TextField in java.awt you can right click and get the standard mouse-menu. The mouse menu is nice for cut/copy/paste type operations and I do not want to lose this functionality.
But with swing and JTextField I am not getting the menu. I right click in there and get nothing. My UIManager is loading the OS one (windows) and I cannot find a way to recover this feature.
Does anyone know how I can get this working?
Thanks,
Lucas

Well as I posted here to try and see if there was a way to recover what the OS already provides I have struggled through creating a popup menu.
I have the cut, copy, paste and selectall complete but I am struggling with the undo option.

How do I change my mouse to right click for copy and paste

How do I change my mouse to right click for copy and paste?

OK, what mouse are you using? Brand, model? Your right click should register as a right click unless that has been overridden by a preference pane. If your Mouse preference pane looks like this, your right click should be the equivalent of a control-left-click on a Mac.

The Right click context menu, and menu butons are all yellow?

The right click context menu, and the Drop down menus for the tool bar, all have Yellow Text.
Everything else is working normally, and the Yellow text is un related to windows itself, as Windows still has the standard coloring for the menus and Right click context. im stumped.

setting check through windows shows no carry over from a botched windows theme setting.
its cosmetic issue mostly, not harmful.

Hmmm, that shouldn't happen. It's difficult to change the text colors in the interface without installing a theme or an add-on that lets you tweak the menus.
Can you try switching between the default theme and your current theme?
Do any of those extensions let you change display settings?

Disabling Right Click Menus for Network Magic's System Tray Icons for Standard and Guest Accounts

OK, so I want to know how to disable the right click menus for Network Magic's system tray icons only for Vista's standard and Guest accounts? I don't want other users signed in as a Standard account or guest account having the ability to disable the system tray icons for network magic.

Hi, currently it's not possible to disable NM from being accessed by a Limited user account, but that is a good idea.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

My iMac mouse right click does not work now

Hi all,
My iMac mouse right click does not work now. It was fine a couple of days ago.
Right click is definitely enabled, I have checked it several times.
A Google search revealed that in Firefox it could be that I'm not using the latest version of Firebug. I have auto updates on and Firebug is the latest version 1.11.3
I use right click for correcting spell checked words, instead of a suggested correct spelling I get the 'open in a new tab' menu.
In Firefox when I right click to open in a new tab I get the menu but it does nothing.
It is driving me mad
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you
P.S. thought it was suddenly working when I did the spell check in this post but it was the left click doign it....

I don't use Firefox so I can't test it, but it might be something to do with a preference setting. Have a look at this link (ignore all the instructions), just look at the image of the preferences, there appears to be a setting in Javascript preferences relating to contextual menus. Check to see what your settings are:

Magic mouse right click problem in Mountain Lion

Hi!
My Magic mouse right-click doesn't work in Mountain Lion! in previous OSes it was working properly (Leopard and Lion), but when I upgrated to Mountain, this problem occured.
if you click anywhere on the magic mouse, it simply do a click, not a right-click anyway...
I did a lot of searches and changes but the problem is still alive...
somewhere suggested disabling "Secondary Click", then restart, and then enabling it. but nothing changed...
somewhere suggested to remove two files named "com.apple.Bluetooth..." in /Library/Preferences, and then restart the system, but this not worked for me, too...
I changed the "Secondary Click" to "Click on the left side" but nothing changed and the magic mouse did just clicking and not right-clicking!
I wondered what can I really do to solve this problem?!
any suggestion is appreciated...

I still use the magic-mouse and still it's not stable. I've found theONLY way to overcome the rightclick is to make sure that you're NOT pressing anywhere else on the mouse (even touching) and only pressing at theTOP right-hand most corner.
It's not the best resolution, but the best that Applecare could provide me with. I thinjk, because it's relatively new due to the new generation of capacitive touch devices that we all get the bugs/flaws.
As like the iPhone, although an EXCELLENT device, and the various versions of OSX, we're going to be plagued eith bugs until a newer review comes out.
The way I found out was to use BOTH tools (MagicPrefs and BetterTouchTool) together, and in both set the Rightclick sensitive area to a near nothing for system wide (non app specific).
It does fail at times on some apps, and takes a few clicks, but 90% of the time it's cleared up.
I somehow think that most developers (and yes its the developers not apple) that forget that we rest out palms on the mouse) and they don't filter out the events forrectly (i.e. a palm on the mouse is seen as a tap). Othere works well, for exmaple I use photoshop, which adapted well to the mouse. The majority of games, and including those (ESPECUALLY THOSE) flash mbased, don't like the mouse at all!

I can't access menu items, nor use mouse right click

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and all of a sudden I cant use the mouse to access the menu items, nor use the right click menus. I can click on button and links with the left button, but right clicking on a link does not bring up the usual menu. I recall this happening in the past, but an exit and restart of the program cleared it up. Reboot are not fixing the problem, nor reinstallation ( after removal).

It seems it could be a profile corruption issue, but not quite!
I was having the same issue (I'm running Lucid Lynx) and after starting Firefox with the -profilemanager option and using the default profile, I was able to access the menu items and get a right-click options menu. I then shutdown Firefox and restarted with my regular profile and it is now working just fine!
A little weird, but hey, I can access the menu items as per normal.
FYI: I had to purge and reinstall Adobe Flashplugin just yesterday then today I got this problem soon after one application crashed in Wine - not sure if all these things are related though!
Ciao,
ak.
