Right-click gone buggy?

When I right-click on a link, it sometimes gives me the wrong dialogue box; other times, 'open in new tab' will open a recently closed tab instead of the one I click. I also have to double right-click at times. What's causing this?

When i tap with 2 fingers, it triggers the primary click altough the settings aren't configured like that... really annoying...

  • Right click gone with Maverick upgrade

    When I upgraded to Maverick I have lost the ability to quit applications with a right click of mouse and  lost all previous uses of the right click. I have set the secondary click on the mouse (apple mouse) but does not seem to do anything. I figured out how to reverse scroll ok. Must be something I've not set correctly. Help !

    Check the Mouse System Preferences and see if the right-click is enabled.
    What is the "right" clock? If you mean the one in the status menu area on the right side of the menu bar, then try disabling any third-party status menu items. They often corrupt the program that displays the menu items.

  • I used to have task or shortcuts show up when I would right click on the FF Icon on the task bar. After installing 4.0 they are all gone. How do I get these back? or restore them to what they were?

    Win 7 task bar has a Fire Fox Icon. Before installing FF 4.0 I could right click on the Icon and it would show short cuts to various sights, which when clicked on would open that sight in FF.
    They are all gone now. What happened? Is there a way to get these back?

    A few hidden preferences to check to make sure that the jump lists are enabled:
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''browser.taskbar.lists''' this should bring up a few preferences
    # To enable all parts of the jump list, make sure the following preferences are set to '''true''', if they are not double-click to them to change their value
    ## browser.taskbar.lists.enabled
    ## browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled
    ## browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled

  • Right-Click context menu is gone

    Using Windows 7, Safari 4.0.4. I noticed recently that when I right-click on a link, I saw the link context menu and I used to be able to select "Open in new tab" This was great to use the mouse only to navigate, open new tabs, and surf around...using just the mouse.
    In the past few days since upgrading to 4.0.4, the entire right-click context menu for links is gone and replaced with one item: "Copy Link" The "Open In New Tab" item, along with some other context items, is no longer there.
    To be honest, this is pretty useless. If I'm only using the mouse, then this means that I have to:
    1. Right Click on a link, select Copy Link
    2. Right click in the tab bar and select "New Tab"
    3. Click in the address bar of the new tab to select the field
    4. Right-click in the address bar and select paste
    5. And now I'm still having to use the keyboard to submit the address as there is no "Go" button for the address bar.
    I know I can just Ctrl + Click a link to open in a new tab, but that requires the keyboard and the mouse.
    I'm all for simple interfaces, but why did you take away the link's right-click context menu? It made surfing and opening tabs so easy using just the mouse.

    That's actually a problem with your particular installation of Safari, b. I've got all the contextual menu entries with my 4.0.4.
    I helped fix one of these recently here at the forum. Try the procedure from the following post (it got back Tho's missing contextual menu entries):

  • Right click on a tab used to have a bookmark this tab option, now gone! why? and how do I get it back?

    In FF 3x right-click on a tab to get menu with "bookmark this tab option". Gone in 4.0! Can I have it back please?
    Also right click a link would have "open in new tab" 2nd in list, now changed to 1st.I have accidentally opened loads of windows.It is infuriating. Please make this menu user-customisable. Please

    Thanks Tony! I will give it a day or two, having open in new tab at top IS more logical, just been using FF so long is natural to hit the second item. I might put "open in new window" 3rd or 4th so I don't do it by accident using the AO. Still annoying about the bookmark thing, but maybe I'll get used to it!

  • [solved] Thunar - icons in right-click-menu are gone

    Hi there.
    Since some time my icons in the thunar right-click-menu are gone. I guess they disappeared with thunar 1.4 but I'm not sure.
    Is there a way to make them come back? I have a hand full of custom actions and the icons help me to distinguish them faster.
    When I open the custom actions manager the icons are still there and are correctly from my current icon theme.
    Thanks for help in advance.

    Forgot:
    No DE, WM: Openbox, but both gtk2 and gtk3 are there and up to date.
    I realized that other icons are missing too. Thunderbird and Firefox don't have icons in their drop down menus as well.
    Has something changed in gtk?
    Uhrg. Just found it. In lxappearance you can tick 'Show icons in menus'. Don't know why this was unticked.
    So thread is solved.

  • Taskbar icon right click "tasks" menu gone

    When I right clicked on the taskbar icon, I used to get several options including a section entitled tasks. However, since about two days ago, I now only get three options of Mozilla Firefox, Unpin this program from the taskbar and close window. I don't know where the options of Open a new tab, Open a new window etc. have gone. I haven't altered any settings in about:config and have tried reinstalling firefox with no success. If there is a possible fix, please help.

    # Type ''about:config'' into the address bar and press Enter.
    # To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
    # In the search box, type ''taskbar''
    # In the search results, if any of the entries appear in bold text with the status "user set", right-click each one and choose Reset.
    # If Firefox is currently pinned to the taskbar, once again unpin it.
    # Open Windows Explorer. Paste the following in the address bar and press Enter:
    #* %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\
    # If you have a file related to Firefox, delete it. You may be able to determine which file belongs to which application if you open it in Notepad (most of it will be unreadable gibberish). Otherwise, try prefixing the name of every file there with ''backup-''
    # '''[http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default Open Default Programs]'''. Select Internet Explorer, then click the "Set this program as default button"
    # In Firefox, open '''[[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption|Options - Advanced - General]]'''. Click the "Make Firefox the default browser" button there. (Setting Firefox as your default browser also pins it to the taskbar)
    # Log off Windows, then back on.
    # If that doesn't help, I have no further suggestions. Remember to rename your ''.automaticDestinations-ms'' files back the way they were.

  • Right click edit gone and toolbar buttons are black and white, HELP! CS6 Dreamweaver, post update.

    Right click to edit is gone and buttons are grayscale in CS6 Dreamweaver. Between yesterday and today my toolbar buttons went from color to grayscale and my ability to right click code and choose edit is gone. I did the update they pushed out. Ideas?

    The Creative Cloud version of DW changed a bunch of stuff, I think the Edit Tag dialogue was one of them. Here's a few links discussing the changes...

  • Is Right Clicking Vertical or Horizontal Scale in the Options toolbar to change units gone?

    Just upgraded to PS CC 14.2 and now when I right click in the Vertical and Horizontal Scale toolbar, I don't get a drop down to choose between pixels, inches, percentage etc. Instead it does nothing. Was this behavior considered a bug? It was very useful, and if it is gone, could someone from Adobe tell me what the new intended usage is?

    I'd be interested in an answer on this too.  The functionality seems to have disappeared since the last update and it's difficult to imagine that it was deliberate.

  • Where has the "Clean up" "Clean up by" option gone for organizing folders? I just upgraded to OS X Maverick today and noticed it was no longer a option when right clicking; also, it is grayed out in the view tab.

    then go to the arrange by and sort by options near the top and change them both to none
    click save as defult at the bottom
    then when you right click the clean up by options will now be there

  • Accidently right clicked the blue star and now it is gone. How do I get it back?

    I was looking for a way to put the bookmark in the correct category. Right clicked and then I think I clicked an option labelled "menu" but I am not sure because at that point the dialog closed and the blue star is no more.
    I can find no instructions for using the new customization options mentioned in stories about 29.

    Just go to Menu bar (Press F10 or Alt to unhide) now go to '''View''' >> '''Toolbars''' >> '''Customize''' >> look at right, look for bookmarks icon, drag it and drop in the toolbar.
    I think you click in the option to move to menu.

  • Where is the option to close multiple tabs? It used to be a Right Click in the "List All Tabs" function. Now it's gone!

    Well I figured out how to get the Tab Bar back where it should, down below where you can easily get to it, but now I see that the "Close All Other Tabs" option which used to be in the right click menu of the "List All Tabs" arrow has disappeared.
    Is there anyway to get that back? This design change is really not as good as 3.5. Also tell that person to slow down. Who can understand what he's saying?
    Thanks!

    In Firefox 4 the Tab Bar is a regular toolbar and that causes the toolbar context menu to show if you right click.
    You can right click the tab that you want to keep to "Close Other Tabs"

  • Right-click ability gone and Spaces broken (seemingly related)

    I recently noticed two things going wrong on my Mac, that showed up at the same time. I don't know if it's coincidence or not.
    First, I had set my preferences to enable "right-clicking" using the righthand mouse button. I can no longer right click; the right button now acts like the main button. The preferences have not changed; right click is still enabled.
    Second, I have Spaces enabled and had assigned certain apps to certain spaces. Now, all apps launch into the currently active space rather than their assigned spaces. I can still switch between spaces, and drag applications to a desired space, but my preferences for Spaces are being ignored (the preferences are still set as before, just not being acted on by the computer).
    Logging off and then back on does not solve either problem. I tried re-booting, which solved both problems last week. The problems since have reoccurred; I tried re-booting again, but this time the problems persist - rebooting did not solve them again.
    I also tried trashing my finder preferences. This did not seem to have any effect.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    I am a newbie and can't help you with spaces, but I also lost my right click after enabling spaces (which is how I found your post). I figured out that by default, spaces sets the right click to activate it. I had to go to System Preferences in the apple menu and undo that option. That fixed my right click.
    The solution to your problem may be more complicated, but I thought I would just offer it.

  • Right-clicking options gone in 3.6.13

    Right-clicking on links no longer shows the "save link as..." option. This makes it impossible to download mp3s, videos, and programs that require downloading a setup file (among others).
    This feature was available with 3.6.12, and still works in 4.0b8

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />
